PREFACE 

More  than  thirty  years  ago  the  writer  first  began  collect- 
ing data  for  the  history  of  the  descendants  of  Samuel  Lincoln, 
his  first  Lincoln  ancestor  in  America,  but  the  difficulty  of  separat- 
ing the  several  families  bearing  the  name  of  Lincoln,  originating 
in  Hingham,  and,  so  far  as  known,  of  unrelated  ancestry,  seemed 
at. that  time  too  discouraging  and  the  work  was  temporarily 
abandoned. 

The  pubHcation  in  1893  of  a  history  of  Hingham  with  a  full  and 
fairly  accurate  genealogy  of  all  Hingham  residents  up  to  1889,  and 
the  completion  and  publication  of  the  Waldo  Genealogy  in  1902, 
which  had  engaged  the  writer's  attention  for  several  years,  led 
him  to  resume  his  studies  of  the  Lincoln  families,  and  the  present 
volume  is  the  result.  The  Hingham  genealogies  provided  a  firm 
foundation  and  with  few  exceptions  proved  to  be  free  from  error, 
but  every  statement  and  date  therein  given  has  been  verified  or 
corrected  by  original  records. 

There  were  in  the  little  town  of  Hingham  previous  to  1640 
eight  settlers  bearing  the  surname  Lincoln,  viz.:  Daniel  the 
husbandman  and  his  brothers  Samuel  the  weaver  and  Thomas 
the  weaver;  Daniel  the  sergeant;  Stephen  and  his  brother  Thomas 
the  husbandman;  Thomas  the  miller  and  Thomas  the  cooper. 
All  of  these  are  thought  to  have  come  from  county  Norfolk, 
England,  but  so  far  as  has  been  learned  the  several  families  were 
not  interrelated.  Daniel  the  husbandman  and  Thomas  the 
weaver  left  no  famihes,  the  former  dying  unmarried;  but  the 
other  six  did  leave  families,  and  as  most  of  these  remained  in 
Hingham  or  Cohasset,  formerly  a  part  of  Hingham,  for  several 
generations  the  task  of  assigning  each  family  to  its  proper  ances- 
tor was  no  easy  one,  but  it  was  admirably  done  by  the  compilers 
of  the  History  of  Hingham. 

The  history  of  the  family  of  Samuel  Lincoln  possesses  greater 
interest?  for  the  general  American  public  than  that  of  most  fami- 
lies, because  it  numbers  among  its  members  that  distinguished 
and  beloved  commoner,  the  late  President  Abraham  Lincoln,

iV  PREFACE 

whose  ancestry  was  unknown  to  himself  beyond  his  grandfather 
Lincoln,  whose  name  he  bore.  On  a  visit  to  New  England  in 
1848  Abraham  Lincoln  stopped  over  night  in  Worcester  and  was 
entertained  by  the  writer's  grandfather,  ex-Governor  Levi  Lin- 
coln, neither  knowing  of  any  blood  relationship  but  suspecting  it 
from  the  numerous  Biblical  names  common  to  the  families  of 
both:  Abraham,  Samuel,  Isaac,  Jacob  and  especially  Mordecai. 
It  was  not  until  after  the  president's  death,  however,  that  any 
real  attempt  was  made  to  establish  his  descent  from  Samuel 
Lincoln;  and  while  positive  proof  of  this  descent,  it  may  be 
claimed,  has  not  yet  been  found  and  probably  never  will  be,  the 
circumstantial  evidence  is  such  as  to  leave  no  reasonable  doubt 
of  the  correctness  of  the  deductions  drawn  therefrom.  This 
evidence  is  briefly  given  on  pages  43  to  45  of  this  volume,  and 
references  are  cited  for  those  who  wish  a  more  complete  presenta- 
tion of  it. 

The  notation  employed  in  this  work  is  the  same  decimal  letter 
system  used  by  the  writer  in  the  Waldo  Genealogy,  unfamiliar  to 
most  but  when  once  understood  very  simple  and  useful,  showing 
at  a  glance  the  generation  to  which  a  member  of  the  family 
belongs,  and  indicating  clearly  the  relationship  between  two 
members. 

The  system  may  be  briefly  explained  as  follows:  The  earliest 
immigrant  of  the  family,  in  this  case  Samuel  Lincoln,  is  lettered 
a;  his  children  are  lettered  aa,  ah,  ac,  etc.  The  children  of  the 
oldest  child  are  lettered  aaa,  aab,  aac,  etc.,  of  the  second  child 
aba,  abb,  abc,  etc.,  and  so  on  through  each  succeeding  generation, 
each  descendant  having  as  many  letters  as  the  generation  to 
which  he  belongs  and  the  letters  showing  exactly  his  line  of  de- 
scent. For  example  take  the  last  name  in  this  volume,  Mordecai 
Abel  Lincoln,  adaaa  bbcgb.  For  convenience  in  counting,  a  space, 
corresponding  to  a  decimal  point,  is  left  after  the  fifth  and  tenth 
letters.  There  being  ten  letters  he  belongs  to  the  tenth  generation 
and  is  descended  from  ad,  the  fourth  child  of  Samuel,  a.  To  look 
up  any  of  his  ancestors  it  is  only  necessary  to  leave  off  a  sufficient 
number  of  letters  and  to  turn  to  the  person  indicated  by  those 
remaining,  without  resorting  to  the  index  or  the  intervening  an- 
cestors. For  instance,  to  learn  the  record  of  his  great-grand- 
father, leave  off  the  last  three  letters,  cgb,  and  there  is  left  adaaa

hb,  which  is  the  index  letter  of  Thomas  Lincoln  on  page  463. 
Take  now  the  index  letter  of  President  Abraham  Lincoln,  page 
464,  adaaa  dh,  and  it  is  clear  he  and  the  aforesaid  Thomas  were 
own  cousins,  the  first  five  letters  showing  they  had  the  same 
grandfather.  In  the  case  of  children  of  Lincoln  women,  to  save 
space  only  the  final  letters  are  given  and  to  obtain  their  full  index 
letter  it  is  necessary  to  affix  these  letters  to  the  index  letter 
of  the  mother.  For  example,  see  Deborah  Lincoln,  aabah,  page 
65.  Her  children  are  lettered  from  a  to  g,  and  the  index  letter 
of  the  oldest,  John,  is  aabab  a.  The  hyphenating  of  Christian 
names  is  an  idea  of  the  writer  to  prevent  the  possibility  of  mis- 
taking a  surname  used  as  a  middle  name  for  the  actual  surname, 
a  mistake  easily  made  in  certain  cases  by  a  hasty  or  careless 
reading.  This  method  was  used  in  the  Waldo  Genealogy  and  is 
again  employed  here,  but  where  initials  only  are  given  the 
hyphen  is  omitted. 

To  indicate  that  the  record  of  any  person  has  been  carried 
forward  to  the  next  generation  the  index  letter  of  such  person 
is  printed  in  roman  characters,  all  others  being  in  italics. 

The  index  is  very  full  and  complete.  Every  individual  is  sep- 
arately named,  full  middle  names  being  given  when  known,  and 
each  married  woman  being  indexed  both  under  her  married  and 
her  maiden  names  when  the  latter  is  known.  All  descendants 
of  Samuel  Lincoln  and  the  husbands  and  wives  of  descendants 
are  indexed  both  by  letter  and  by  page,  individuals  indexed  by 
page  alone  being  mentioned  only  incidentally.  Relationships  are 
thus  easily  determined  by  the  index,  without  reference  to  the 
text. 

Most  of  the  data  in  this  volume  were  obtained  before  1914, 
when  the  work  was  practically  finished;  and  the  book  would  have 
been  published  several  years  ago,  had  not  the  great  war  inter- 
fered. Since  the  war  the  cost  of  paper  and  printing  has  been  so 
excessive  that  publication  has  been  delayed  until  the  present,  in 
the  hope  that  these  costs  might  be  less.  No  attempt  has  been 
made,  except  in  a  few  cases,  to  bring  the  records  down  to  the  date 
of  publication,  and  it  is  a  matter  of  regret  that  the  war  services 
of  the  members  of  the  family  are,  as  a  rule,  of  necessity  not  in- 
cluded. It  was  hoped  to  make  a  more  complete  presentation  of 
the  later  Pennsylvania  families,  but  in  this  the  writer  has  been 


VI  PREFACE 

disappointed.  Yet  nearly  every  family  has  been  so  far  traced 
that  it  is  thought  that  few  descendants,  who  know  the  names  of 
their  grandparents,  will  have  any  difficulty  in  tracing  their  ances- 
try back  to  Samuel  Lincoln. 

By  careful  and  repeated  reading  of  manuscript  and  proof,  an 
attempt  has  been  made  to  eliminate  all  errors,  yet  undoubtedly 
many  remain.  For  those  made  in  copying  official  records  and 
private  manuscripts  and  in  quotations  from  pubHshed  books, 
the  compiler  is  alone  responsible.  In  all  cases  he  has  followed  the 
given  spelling  of  Christian  and  family  names,  not  wishing  to  alter 
official  or  family  records  even  when  it  seemed  probable  that  an 
error  had  been  made.  Where  official  and  family  records  differ  as 
to  dates,  the  family  Bible  has  been  considered  the  best  authority, 
official  records  next  and  gravestones  the  least  reliable  of  all. 
Frequently  all  dates  have  been  given,  with  the  authority  for  each. 

The  writer  wishes  to  acknowledge  his  obligation  to  all  the 
members  of  the  family  and  others  who  have  assisted  him,  by 
materials  and  records,  in  this  compilation.  Credit  has  been  given 
to  each  in  the  proper  place,  among  the  authorities  cited  at  the 
end  of  each  biography.  This  has  seemed  a  more  satisfactory  way 
of  indicating  the  sources  of  information  than  by  footnotes,  which 
was  the  system  adopted  in  the  Waldo  Genealogy.  For  permission 
to  use  the  two  photographs  of  Abraham  Lincoln  for  reproduction 
in  half-tone,  acknowledgment  is  made  to  Mr.  Frederick  H. 
Meserve  of  New  York,  from  whose  book,  ''The  Photographs 
of  Abraham  Lincoln,"  they  have  been  taken.

FIRST  AND  SECOND  GENERATIONS 

The  birth  and  parentage  of  Samuel  Lincoln,  the  settler  in 
Hingham,  Mass.,  whose  family  and  descendants  this  volume 
will  attempt  to  trace  up  to  the  present  time,  remains  still 
in  doubt.  The  assumption  in  "The  Ancestry  of  Abraham 
Lincoln"  by  Lea  and  Hutchinson  that  he  was  that  Samuel 
Lincoln,  son  of  Edward  Lincoln,  who  was  baptized  at  Hingham, 
England,  Aug.  24,  1622,  does  not  seem  to  be  founded  on  suffi- 
ciently strong  evidence  to  make  it  sure.  It  is  in  fact  contradicted 
by  the  age  given  to  Samuel  on  his  emigration  in  1637,  and  by  the 
age  assigned  to  him  on  his  death,  both  of  which  make  him  born 
in  1619,  three  years  before  his  baptism,  a  very  unusual  delay  in 
those  days  and  the  more  unlikely  since  Edward  Lincoln's  son 
Daniel  was  baptized  in  that  year,  and  moreover  all  his  other 
children  were  duly  baptized  at  irregular  intervals  between  1600 
and  1625.       ^ 

The  only  evidence  which  supports  the  claim  that  the  American 
Samuel  was  the  son  of  Edward  of  Hingham,  England,  is  the 
proved  fact  that  he  had  a  brother  Daniel,  who  was  probably 
older  than  himself.  This  brother  Daniel  died  at  Hingham, 
Mass.,  unmarried,  Apr.  5,  1644,  but  unfortunately  his  age  at 
death  is  unknown.  There  was,  however,  another  Daniel  Lincoln 
in  the  Massachusetts  Hingham,  a  resident  there  as  early  as 
1644-5,  wWodied  March  19,  1698-9,  in  his  80th  year,  which  would 
make  him  born  in  1619,  and  he  is  quite  as  likely  to  have  been  the 
son  of  Edward  Lincoln  of  old  Hingham  as  the  other;  and  as  he 
was  certainly  not  the  brother  of  our  Samuel,  it  makes  the  latter's 
parentage  the  more  uncertain.  Until  other  confirmatory  evidence 
is  found,  therefore,  one  cannot  accept  as  proved  beyond  reason- 
able doubt  the  claim  that  Samuel  was  the  son  of  Edward  Lincoln 
of  old  Hingham,  and  that  he  was  baptized  Aug.  24,  1622. 

What   is  certain,   however,   is  that  three  brothers  Lincoln 

^^ere  among  the  earliest  settlers  of  Hingham,  Mass.    The  old- 

;t  of  these,  Thomas,  is  first  mentioned    by  Daniel   Gushing 

''The   Founders  of  New  England,"  p.  77,  in  the  following

2  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

words:  "  1633  Also  Nicholas  Jacob  with  his  wife  and  two  children, 
and  their  cosen  Thomas  Lincoln,  weaver,  came  from  Old  Hing- 
ham  and  settled  in  this  Hingham."  He  is  said  to  have  resided 
for  about  two  years  in  Charlestown  and  Watertown,  and  he 
received  a  grant  of  land  in  Hingham  at  Weary-All  (now  Otis) 
Hill  in  1635,  and  July  3,  1636,  a  houselot  of  five  acres  was  granted 
him  on  the  south  side  of  Town  (now  South)  street.  He  was 
twice  married  but  the  surname  of  neither  of  his  wives  is  known. 
The  Christian  name  of  his  first  wife  was  Susanna,  and  of  his 
second,  Mary.  Susanna  died  in  March,  1641.  She  was  un- 
doubtedly born  in  England  and  was  probably  married  there. 
Mary  died  in  Hingham,  Dec.  21,  1683,  being  then  ''an  aged 
woman."  Thomas  died  in  Hingham  Sept.  2,  1675,  leaving  no 
children  and,  probably,  never  having  had  any,  as  there  is  no 
record  of  their  birth  or  baptism.  Messrs.  Lea  and  Hutchinson 
not  finding  his  name  among  Edward  Lincoln's  sons  in  the  baptis- 
mal register  of  old  Hingham,  assumed  that  he  was  born  before 
1600,  the  registers  before  that  date  having  been  destroyed.  This 
is  quite  possible  but  such  an  assumption  does  not  furnish  any 
positive  proof  of  their  claim  that  Samuel  was  the  son  of  Edward. 
The  following  deed  is  evidence  that  neither  Thomas  Lincoln 
nor  his  wife  Mary  could  write  well  enough  to  sign  their  names: 

"July  14,  1664,  Thomas  Lincorne  of  Hingham  husbandman 
and  Mary  his  wife,  for  twenty  pounds  Starling  ...  to  Samuel 
Lincorne  of  S^  town  Mariner,  two  accres  [of  land]  Lying  by  y®

her  m'ke 

That  Thomas  was  a  brother  of  Samuel  is  proved  by  his  will 
which  was  presented  for  probate  at  Boston,  October,  1675,  being 
without  date  or  signature.     As  no  mention  is  made  in  it  of 
Samuel's  daughter  Rebecca  it  was  probably  made  before  h'^**  , 
birth,  which  occurred  in  March,  1673,  and  the  lack  of  signati      ^^

perhaps  being  paralysed.

FIRST    AND    SECOND    GENERATIONS  5 

The  second  of  the  three  Lincoln  brothers  was  Daniel,  called 
*'the  husbandman"  to  distinguish  him  from  that  other  Daniel 
Lincoln,  whose  death  in  1699  has  already  been  mentioned,  and 
who  was  known  as  *'the  sergeant,"  'Hhe  boatman,"  ''the  sea- 
man," and  also  more  significantly  as  ''the  young  man."  Now 
as  Samuel's  brother,  Daniel,  died  unmarried  at  Hingham,  Apr. 
3,  1644,  he  would  then  have  been,  if  son  of  Edward  Lincoln  of 
Hingham,  England,  as  "The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln" 
would  have  us  believe,  but  twenty-five  years  old  and  of  exactly 
the  same  age  as  the  other  Daniel  Lincoln.  Does  not  the  fact 
that  the  latter  was  known  as  "the  young  man"  make  it  probable 
that  Samuel's  brother  Daniel  was  of  more  mature  years,  and 
that  these  three  brothers  were  therefore  not  the  sons  of  Edward 
Lincoln  of  old  Hingham? 

That  the  Daniel  who  died  in  1644  was  the  brother  of  Samuel, 
is  proved  by  a  deed  dated  Dec.  1,  1645,  and  recorded  in  Suffolk 
County  Deeds,  vol.  iv,  pp.  195,  214,  by  which  Samuel  Lincolne 
of  Hingham,  conveyed  to  Daniel  Gushing  of  Hingham,  "3  acres 
of  land  which  was  given  to  the  aforesaid  Samuel  Lyncolne  by  his 
brother  Daniel  Lyncolne  deceased  .  .  .  upon  the  Hill  in  the 
Palayne  necke  called  the  worlds  end." 

a.  Samuel  Lincoln,  the  third  of  the  three  Lincoln  brothers 
who  were  settled  in  Hingham,  Mass.,  before  1640,  was  born,  ac- 
cording to  his  age  as  given  when  he  left  England  and  when 
he  died,  in  1619.  He  had,  apparently,  been  apprenticed  to 
Francis  Lawes,  a  weaver  of  Norwich,  Eng.,  and  sailed  with 
him  and  his  family  from  Ipswich  or  Yarmouth  for  the  new  world, 
early  in  1637,  being  then  eighteen  years  old.  His  departure  is 
thus  noted  in  "The  Original  Lists"  by  John-Camden  Hotten, 
pp.  289-290: 

"These  persons  went  to  New  England :with  William : Andre wes 
of  Ipswich  M"^  of  the  John  rand  Dorothey:of  Ipswich  and  with 
William  Andrewes  his  Sone:M^  of  the  Rose:of  Yarmouth.

The  vessel  arrived  at  Boston  June  20,  1637,  and  Francis  Lawes 
went  immediately,  or  soon,  to  Salem,  taking  with  him  young 
Lincoln,  whom  he  must  have,  soon  after,  released  from  his 
apprenticeship  since  Daniel  Cushing's  record  in  ''The  Founders 
of  New  England,"  p.  77,  says:  ''1637  John  Tower  and  Samuel 
Lincoln  came  from  Old  Hingham  and  both  settled  at  New 
Hingham.  Samuel  Lincoln  living  some  time  at  Salem."  The 
stay  in  Salem  could  not  have  been  of  many  months'  duration. 
The  statement  by  Mr.  Gushing  that  Samuel  came  from  Hingham 
is  of  interest  and  should  be  true,  since  Gushing  himself  was  not 
only  from  old  Hingham  but  was  baptized  there  in  1619,  and 
must  have  known  from  what  town  Samuel  came.  This  is  the 
strongest  evidence  there  is  that  Samuel  was  the  son  of  Edward 
Lincoln,  since  the  baptism  of  no  other  Samuel  is  recorded  at 
Hingham. 

May  3,1649,  Samuel  Lincolne  of  Hingham,  mariner,  purchased 
from  Gornelius  Gantelbery  of  Hingham,  cooper,  a  dwelling 
house  in  Hingham  with  two  acres  of  land  adjoining.  (Suffolk 
County  Deeds,  vol.  i,  fol.  104.)  This  was  probably  at  the  time 
of  his  marriage.  The  lot,  which  seems  to  have  expanded  to 
five  acres,  was  situated  near  the  present  railroad  station,  and 
was  the  same  which  was  granted  by  the  town  to  William  Arnall 
in  1635.  The  house  disappeared  long  ago  but  a  part  of  the 
homestead  was  occupied  until  recently,  and  perhaps  still  is,  by 
one  branch  of  Samuel's  descendants,  the  heirs  of  Asa  Lincoln, 
aahcd  a. 

By  trade  Samuel  was,  as  has  been  said,  a  weaver  like  his 
brother  Thomas,  but  he  was  also  known  and  designated  as  a 
"mariner."  He  died  May  26,  1690,  at  Hingham,  aged  71  years. 
The  date  of  his  marriage  and  the  surname  of  his  wife  have  not 
been  discovered.  Perhaps  the  name  ''Mordecai"  which  he  gave 
to  his  third  and  fourth  sons  may  sometime  help  to  solve  the 
mystery  of  his  wife's  parentage.  Her  Christian  name  was 
Martha  and  she  died  Apr.  10,  1693,  at  Hingham.  (Hist,  of 
Hingham,   vol.   ii,   pp.   459-460.)

O  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

a/.  Mary,  born  March  27,  1662;  died  March,  1752,  at  Hingham.  She  was 
married  Jan.  3,  1683-4,  at  Hingham  by  Jonathan  Bosworth  of  Hull, 
Mass.,  to  Joseph^,  son  of  Joseph^  (Clement^)  and  Esther  (Hilliard)  Bates  of 
Hingham,  born  Sept. 28, 1660,  at  Hingham;  died  Nov.  3, 1714,  at  Hingham. 
He  purchased  in  1683,  of  his  uncle  Samuel  Bates  for  £10:10  sh.  one  half 
of  lot  68  in  the  first  division  of  "Conehassit,"  then  the  second  precinct 
of  Hingham,  just  south  of  Deerhill  Lane,  now  Sohier  street,  of  which 
his  father  owned  the  other  half.  After  his  father's  death  in  1706  he  owned 
the  whole  lot,  and  he  seems  to  have  built  a  house  upon  the  eastern  end 
of  it  just  before  his  death,  which  he  never  occupied.  He  lived  in  the 
second  precinct  on  what  is  now  Cedar  street  in  Cohasset,  near  the  present 
Hingham  Hne.  He  was  by  trade  a  mason;  constable  in  1705;  one  of  the 
seven  men  who  with  Mr.  Hobart  first  signed  the  covenant  of  the  First 
Church.  Rev.  Jacob  FUnt  calls  him  "a  man  of  some  distinction  from  his 
piety  and  useful  acquirements."  His  will,  dated  July  31,  1713,  probated 
Aug.  18,  1713,  gives  to  his  wife  Mary  £100  and  other  valuables  and  "the 
west  end  of  my  dwelling  house  during  the  time  she  remains  my  widow." 
It  names  his  sons  Joseph  and  Jonathan,  who  were  to  divide  between  them 
the  greater  part  of  his  real  estate;  his  daughters  Mary  Wilson,  Rachel 
Bate  and  Hester  Bate;  and  his  son-in-law,  George  Wilson.  On  his  grave- 
stone in  Central  cemetery,  Cohasset,  his  name  is  spelled  "Beat."  (Hist, 
of  Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  40;  Cohasset  Genealogies,  pp.  22-3.)

and  Abigail  (Lothrop)  Clarke  of  Plymouth,  Mass.  (Landmarks  of  Ply- 
mouth, Pt.  ii,  p.  60.)  Neither  the  record  of  his  birth  nor  of  his  death 
has  been  found,  but  the  latter  occurred  before  June  20, 1720,  when  Rebecca 
Clarke  was  appointed  administratrix  on  his  estate,  her  petition  naming 
all  the  children  given  hereafter.  They  lived  at  Plymouth.  She  married 
(2),  June  24,  1725,  at  Hingham,  IsraeP,  son  of  Thomas^  and  Rebecca  (Jos- 
selyn)  Nichols  of  Hingham,  who  was  bapt.  Sept.  1,  1650,  at  Hingham 
and  died  Jan.  24,  1733-4,  at  Hingham.  She  was  his  third  wife.  His  fiirst 
wife,  by  whom  he  had  five  children,  was  named  Mary;  his  second  wife, 
by  whom  he  had  ten  children,  was  Mary  Sumner.  He  was  a  "weaver"; 
constable  in  1690.  He  lived  on  Green  Hill,  Hull,  and  late  in  Hfe  on 
the  "Jerusalem  Road,"  having  moved  his  house  across  Straits  pond 
on  the  ice  before  1695,  when  the  selectmen  appointed  Samuel  Jacobs

at  Hingham  in  his  71st  year.  He  was  by  occupation  a  carpenter 
and  lived  on  the  paternal  homestead  on  North  street,  near 
Thaxter's  bridge,  in  Hingham.  He  was  selectman  in  1694  and 
1698.  In  1675  and  1676  he  was  a  member  of  Capt.  Johnson's 
Company,  and  participated  as  cavalryman  in  the  great  Narra- 
gansett  fight  when  Johnson  lost  his  life.  (N.  E.  Hist.  &  Gen. 
Register,  vols,  viii,  p.  243;  xxxix,  pp.  76-7.)  In  1679  his  name 
appears  in  ''a  list  of  foot-soldiers  belonging  to  Hingham,  who  are 
willing  to  serve  the  country  in  the  capacity  of  troopers."  June 
4,  1685,  as  a  reward  for  services,  a  grant  was  made  to  '' Samuel 
Lyncolne  and  three  more  of  Hingham,  and  others  of  other 
towns,  of  land  in  the  Nipmuck  country."  He  held  various 
mihtary  offices  and  was  styled  ''cornet."  The  ''History  of 
Hingham,"  vol.  ii,  p.  460,  says  that  "his  will  made  soon  after  the 
decease  of  his  wife  provides  for  three  sons  and  six  daughters; 
also  for  his  sister  Martha  while  she  remains  a  maiden."  The 
compiler  has  not  found  this  will  but,  according  to  Suffolk  County 
Probate  Records,  vol.  xxii,  f.  146,  he  died  intestate  and  ad- 
ministration on  his  estate  was  granted,  Apr.  12,  1721,  to  Samuel 
Lincoln  of  Hingham,  his  son.  He  is  then  described  as  "house 
carpenter." 

He  married,  Apr.  29,  1687,  at  Hingham,  Deborah^  daughter 
of  William^  {William})  and  Rebecca  (Chubbuck)  Hersey  of 
Hingham,  born  Jan.  1,  1665-6,  at  Hingham;  died  Apr.  28,  1706, 
at  Hingham,  aged  40  years.  Her  grandfather  William^  Hersey 
came  to  New  England  in  1635,  and  settled  in  Hingham  early  in 
the  autumn  of  that  year.  He  was  freeman,  1638.  He  is  thought 
to  have  been  a  native  of  Hingham,  England.     The  surname 


10  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

Hersey  is  very  ancient  and,  probably,  of  French  origin  as  it 
appears  in  the  Ust  of  those  who  went  to  England  with  William 
the  Conqueror.  (Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  298.)  Thomas 
Chubbuck,  Deborah's  maternal  grandfather,  was  a  settler  in 
Hingham  in  1634  or,  more  probably,  in  1635  when  he  received 
a  grant  of  a  house  lot  at  Broad  Cove.    {Ibid.,  p.  122.)

street,  near  the  corner  of  Hersey.  His  will,  dated  March  15, 1730-1,  pro- 
bated May  17,  1731,  names:  "cousin  Isaac  Lincoln  son  of  my  brother 
David  Lincoln";  "cousins  David  Lincoln  and  Matthew  Lincoln"; 
"cousin  Enoch  Whiton";  "Caleb  Marsh  and  Sarah  Marsh  the  grandchil-

Abigail  Waters,  Margaret  Whiton,  Abigail  Lane  and  Lydia  Lane." 
(Suffolk  County  Probate  Records,  vol.  xxix,  f .  36.)  Mr.  Lincoln's  grand- 
father, Stephen  Lincoln,  came  to  New  England  from  Wymondham, 
county  Norfolk,  England,  with  his  wife  Margaret  and  son  Stephen,  in 
the  ship  "Diligent,"  arriving  Aug.  10,  1638,  and  soon  after  settled  at 
Hingham.  He  was  brother  of  Thomas  Lincoln  "the  husbandman," 
another  Hingham  settler.    (Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  476.)

Apr.  22,  1751.  He  married  (2),  Jan.  25,  1715-6,  at  Hingham,  Sarah*, 
daughter  of  Benjamin^  (Humphrey^,  John^)  and  Rebecca  (Hersey)  John-

15,  1736,  and  by  her  he  had  four  children:  Sarah,  Mary,  Rachel  and 
Ruth.  Rachel  married  her  cousin  Enoch  Lincoln,  aach.  Mr.  Fearing 
was  a  farmer  and  Hved  at  Hingham  on  the  paternal  homestead  on  North 
street,  nearly  opposite  the  present  Universalist  meeting-house.  He  was 
constable,  1717;  selectman,  1723.    (Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  218.)

Hingham,  born  Nov.  27,  1686,  at  Hingham;  died  there,  Jan.  21,  1767. 
She  was  his  second  wife.  His  first  wife,  whom  he  married  Aug.  23,  1714, 
at  Hingham,  was  Hannah^,  daughter  of  Ebenezer'  {George^,  William})  and 
Hannah  (Hersey)  Lane  of  Hingham,  born  Feb.  13,  1689-90,  at  Hingham; 
died  there  Dec.  16,  1714,  leaving  one  child,  Abraham.  Mr.  Leavitt 
was  a  "cooper"  and  hved  at  Hingham  on  Pleasant  street.  "History  of 
Hingham,"  vol.  ii,  p.  430,  says  that  Mrs.  Rebecca  Leavitt  survived  her 
husband  and  married  (2),  Nov.  1,  1770,  at  Hingham,  Nathan  Stevens. 
This  is  an  error.  Mrs.  Rebecca  Stevens  died  at  Pembroke,  Mass.,  March 
8,  1816,  in  her  69th  year,  and  was  therefore  born  about  1746.  Moreover 
Nathan  and  Rebecca  Stevens  had  five  children,  which  is  manifestly 
impossible  for  a  woman  of  over  seventy  years.  (See  Pembroke 
Records.)

Hingham  Center,  on  Main  street  near  the  common,  but  probably  moved 
away  in  1762,  when  they  sold  their  house.  (Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.

(Lincoln)  Lincoln  of  Hingham,  born  Sept.  2,  1698,  at  Hingham;  died

Hist.  &  Gen.  Register,  vol.  xiii,  p.  214);  died  Apr.  29,  1732,  at 
Hingham,  aged  79  years.  He  was  a  farmer,  called  ''planter" 
in  his  will,  a  large  landowner,  and  according  to  ''Cohasset 
Genealogies"  was  interested  in  the  ''iron  mills"  of  his  brother 
Mordecai.  He  lived  in  the  second  precinct  of  Hingham,  now 
Cohasset,  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from  the  head  of  Little 
Harbor,  in  a  house  which  he  built  about  the  time  of  his  marriage; 

*The  will  of  Noah  Lincoln,  dated  May  3,  1803,  probated  Dec.  3,  1810,  calls  him  "of  Hing- 
ham, yeoman"  and  names:  sister  Abigail  Lincoln,  single-woman;  "nephew  Matthew,  son  of  my 
brother  Matthew  Lincoln,  now  living  in  Maine";  "the  other  children  of  brother  Matthew,  viz: 
Jedediah,  Shubal,  Susannah,  Hezekiah,  Phineas  and  Jared."  (Plymouth  County  Probate 
Records,  vol.  xliii,  f.  320.) 


FIRST  AND  SECOND  GENERATIONS  13 

certainly  before  1685,  when  the  main  road  to  Hingham  was  laid 
out.  (Cohasset  Genealogies,  p.  230;  Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  ii, 
p.  460.) 

Among  the  list  of  men  credited  with  service  under  Maj. 
Willard  from  Aug.  23  to  Jan.  25,  1675,  is  the  name  of  Daniel 
Lincolne  who  is  credited  Nov.  20,  with  '' £01:05:08."  This  list 
is  supposed  to  embrace  the  Company  of  Capt.  Parker,  who 
marched  with  Maj.  Willard  to  the  relief  of  Brookfield,  on  Aug. 
4,  1675.  There  being  no  other  Daniel  Lincoln  who  would  have 
been  of  the  right  age  to  have  done  this  service,  except  the  subject 
of  this  sketch,  the  entry  undoubtedly  refers  to  him.  (N.  E.  Hist. 
&  Gen.  Register,  vol.  xxxviii,  p.  220.) 

Daniel  is  the  first  one  designated  in  Hingham  records  as  a 
Cohasset  resident.  This  was  in  1685  when  he  was  living  upon 
lot  71,  which  had  been  granted  originally  to  Rev.  Peter  Hobart, 
and  was  in  the  vicinity  of  the  present  Central  cemetery.  In 
laying  out  Main  street  the  committee  took  some  of  Daniel's 
land,  and  gave  him  in  exchange  about  an  acre  and  a  half  ''butting 
upon  the  meadow  of  Mary  Hearsey  (widow)."  At  the  shore 
of  Little  Harbor  was  a  landing  place  for  Daniel  Lincoln's  boat, 
which  carried  his  loads  to  and  from  Hingham  harbor.  In  1711 
he  was  taxed  on  forty  acres  of  land,  a  house,  two  horses,  six 
oxen,  four  cows,  twenty  sheep  and  four  swine.  (Hist,  of  Co- 
hasset, pp.  165-6.) 

His  will,  dated  July  7,  1727,  probated  May  3,  1732,  names: 
''beloved  wife  Elizabeth  Lincoln";  "daughter  EKza  Nichols"; 
"grandson  Moses  Lincoln";  "son  Hezekiah  Lincoln";  "children 
of  son  Obadiah  Lincoln,  deceased";  "grandson  Daniel  Nichols"; 
"granddaughters  Priscilla  Lincoln,  Susannah  Lincoln";  "grand- 
sons Daniel  Lincoln,  Thomas  Lincoln";  "daughter  Susannah 
Lincoln  the  rehct  of  my  son  Obadiah  Lincoln."  Executor,  son 
Hezekiah.     (Suffolk  County  Probate  Records,  vol.  xxix,  f.  538.) 

He  married,  Jan.  23,  1677-8,  at  Hingham,  Elizabeth^,  daughter 
of  Thomas^  "the  husbandman"  and  Margaret  (Langer)  Lincoln 
of  Hingham,  born  Dec.  2,  1656,  at  Hingham;  died  Dec.  28,  1741, 
at  Hingham,  aged  85  years.  (Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  460.) 
Her  gravestone  in  Central  burying  ground,  Cohasset,  and  "Co- 
hasset Genealogies,"  p.  230,  say  she  died  Dec.  29.  Her  father, 
Thomas  Lincoln  "the  husbandman,"  was  brother  of  Stephen 


14  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

Lincoln  (see  aaa)  and  like  him  came  from  Wymondham,  county 
Norfolk,  Eng.,  and  settled  at  Hingham  in  the  autumn  of  1638. 
None  of  his  descendants  in  the  male  line,  bearing  the  surname, 
now  reside  at  Hingham,  but  they  are  quite  numerous  throughout 
New  England,  especially  in  Worcester  County,  Massachusetts, 
and  in  the  State  of  Maine.  He  resided  on  Fort  Hill  street,  ''on 
the  upland  by  the  highway  going  to  Weymouth  mill.''  (Ibid.,  vol. 
iii,  p.  16.)  His  wife,  Margaret,  was  daughter  of  Richard  Langer, 
who  settled  at  Hingham  in  1636.  {Ibid.,  vol.  ii,  p.  422.)

and  Mary  Nichols  of  Hingham,  born  Sept.  6,  1685,  at  Hingham;  died 
June  14,  1758,  at  Hingham.  He  was  a  farmer  and  Uved  at  Hingham,  in 
the  second  precinct,  on  the  "Jerusalem  Road"  west  of  his  father  and 
beyond  Rattlesnake  Run.  He  was  constable  in  1724.  He  married  (2), 
Oct.  26,  1747,  at  Hingham,  Mrs.  Mercy  (Pratt)  Orcutt,  widow  of  Samuel 
Orcutt  and  daughter  of  Aaron  and  Sarah  (Pratt)  Pratt  of  Hingham, 
born  Dec.  6,  1703,  at  Hingham.  He  had  no  children  by  his  second  wife. 
His  will,  probated  June  23,  1758,  reserves  a  place  "where  I  buried  my 
wife  for  a  burying  place  for  my  family."  The  inventory  of  his  estate 
mentions  two  slaves  (male  and  female).  The  whole  estate  was  valued 
at  £1358:12:2.  His  father,  Israel  Nichols,  married  Rebecca  (Lincoln) 
Clarke,  ok,  for  his  third  wife.    (Cohasset  Genealogies,  p.  298.)

Lincoln  of  Hingham,  born  Feb.  25,  1687-8,  at  Hingham;  died  there, 
Jan.  19,  1772.  His  grandfather  Daniel  Lincoln  was  also  known  as  "the

Lincoln,"  and  may  have  been  that  Daniel,  son  of  Edward  Lincoln,  who 
was  baptized  at  Hingham,  England,  March  28,  1619,  since  he  died 
March  19,  1698-9,  "in  his  80th  year."  Moses  Lincoln  was  a  farmer  and

Note:  "History  of  Hingham"  and  "Cohasset  Genealogies"  both  give 
to  Daniel  and  EHzabeth  (Lincoln)  Lincoln  a  daughter  Sarah,  "birth  not 

recorded,  married Church  of  Little  Compton,"  giving  as  authority 

Suffolk  County  Deeds,  vol.  Ixxxvii,  f.  143.  This  Sarah  was  not  Daniel's 
daughter,  but  the  sister  of  Mary  Horswell,  wife  of  Daniel's  son  Hezekiah. 
The  deed  referred  to  is  one  from  Hezekiah  Lincoln  and  Mary  his  wife  in 
which  they  name  "our  sister  Sarah  Church  of  Little  Compton."  Francis 
Horswell  of  Hingham  had  two  daughters:  Mary  who  married  Hezekiah 
Lincoln  and  Sarah  who  married,  Aug.  10  (or  Oct.  10),  1719,  Capt.  Thomas 
Church  of  Little  Compton,  R.  I.  (Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  352.) 
She  was  his  third  wife  and  died  Apr.  2,  1768,  aged  73  years.  March  20, 
1719,  Mary  Lincoln,  wife  of  Hezekiah  Lincoln,  and  Sarah  Horswell 
divided  their  father  Francis'  estate  (Suffolk  County  Deeds,  vol.  xxxiii, 
f.  230-1),  and  Jan.  16, 1770,  Thomas  Church  of  Little  Compton,  "executor

his  death  as  Nov.  12,  while  the  date  on  his  gravestone  according 
to  ''History  of  Hingham,"  vol.  ii,  p.  461,  and  ''Cohasset 
Genealogies,"  p.  231,  is  Nov.  8.)  He  lived  in  the  second^precinct 
of  Hingham,  now  Cohasset,  though  at  what  time  he  removed 
thither  from  the  first  precinct  is  unknown.  It  was  probably  not 
long  after  1685,  when  his  brother  Daniel  is  called  in  Hingham 
records  "of  Conohasset." 

Feb.  25,  1691-2,  Mordecai  Lincoln  of  Hingham  purchased 
for  £7  current  money  of  New  England,  of  Matthew  Gannet  of 
Scituate,  ''the  one  Half  of  ye  Stream  or  brook  which  runneth

This  deed  was  attested  and  sworn  to  by  witnesses,  Samuel  Eells 
and  Samuel  Lincoln,  Sept.  8,  1694;  and  was  entered  Apr.  28, 
1719,  ''Record^  &  Examd."  (Plymouth  County  Deeds,  vol. 
xiv,  f.  150.) 

Soon  after  this  Mr.  Lincoln  built  himself  a  house  just  across 
Bound  Brook  in  Scituate  and  lived  there  during  the  rest  of  his 
life.  The  original  house  is  still  standing  though  considerably 
altered  and  enlarged  to  meet  the  requirements  of  modern  life, 
but  a  house  which  he  built  for  his  son,  Isaac,  about  1717,  just 
across  the  brook  in  Cohasset  remains  practically  unchanged, 
and  is  in  the  possession  of  a  descendant  though  no  longer  occupied 
as  a  dwelling.  Mr.  Lincoln  added  to  his  real  estate  by  the 
purchase,  Apr.  5,  1714,  of  Joseph  Bayley,  for  £118  current  money 
of  New  England,  of  twelve  acres  of  salt  marsh  and  one  quarter  of 
an  acre  of  upland  in  ''Cohasset  in  Scituate"  (Ibid.,  vol.  xi,  f.  50) ; 
and  by  the  purchase,  Dec.  13,  1717,  of  Susanna  Bacon  of  Hing- 
ham,  singlewoman,  of  ten  acres  of  upland  ''near  to  Bound  brook" 
in  Scituate,  also  three  acres  of  salt  marsh.  (Ibid.,  vol.  xiii,  f. 
122.)    In  these  deeds  he  is  described  as  "  of  Scituate,  blacksmith." 

The  privileges  which  he  acquired  from  Matthew  Gannett 
comprised  three  mill  sites  which  he  proceeded  to  utilize  and 
improve.  The  upper  site  was  at  "Turtle  Island"  in  the  "Beech- 
wood"  district.  Here  the  brook  splits  to  form  the  island,  and 
by  damming  the  west  branch  he  obtained  sufficient  power  to 
run  a  trip  hammer  with  which  to  forge  the  iron,  which  he  ob- 
tained by  smelting  bog  iron  ore  which  was  brought  from  the 
neighboring  town  of  Pembroke.  This  constituted  the  so-called 
"iron  works"  of  which  he  is  somewhat  grandiloquently  styled 
the  proprietor.  Probably  the  good  old  name  "blacksmith" 
more  accurately  describes  him.  A  pair  of  andirons,  said  to  be 
of  his  workmanship,  are  still  preserved  in  the  old  house  which 
he  gave  to  his  son  Isaac.

The  two  lower  mill  sites  he  utilized  for  saw  and  grist  mills, 
and  he  is  said  to  have  obtained  a  full  week's  work  from  this  small, 
puny  stream,  by  running  each  mill  but  two  days  in  the  week, 
retaining  the  water  as  it  passed  the  upper  mills  in  the  ponds 
below,  and  thus  making  it  do  triple  service.  According  to  the 
"History  of  Hingham,"  vol.  i,  part  ii,  p.  158,  an  agreement  was 
entered  into.  May  27,  1703,  by  Thomas  Andrews,  Daniel  Lincoln, 
Aaron  Pratt,  Gershom  Ewell,  Mordecai  Lincoln,  Josiah  Litch- 
field, Jr.,  and  Thomas  James  "to  set  up  a  forge  or  iron  works 
upon  a  stream  in  Thomas  Andrews'  lot  in  the  third  division  in 
Conahasset";  and  Jan.  13,  1703-4,  another  agreement  recites 
that  "Thomas  Andrews,  Daniel  Lincoln,  Thomas  James,  Aaron 
Pratt,  all  of  Hingham,  and  Mordecai  Lincoln,  Gershom  Ewell, 
and  Josiah  Litchfield,  Jr.,  of  Scituate,  have  a  piece  of  land  in 
common  amongst  them  in  the  third  division,  upon  which  they 
have  erected  a  dam  across  a  stream  in  the  same;  also  iron  works 
and  other  buildings."  It  is  therefore  possible  that  Mr.  Lincoln 
did  not  erect  the  forge  and  smelter,  until  some  time  after  he  had 
utiHzed  the  other  mill  sites.  In  1711  he  was  taxed  in  Cohasset 
for  an  iron  works  and  corn  mill,  besides  one  acre  of  meadow, 
three  acres  of  farm  and  thirty  acres  of  pasture.  The  only  evi- 
dences now  existing  of  the  iron  works  are  bits  of  slag  and  char- 
coal from  the  old  furnace,  which  may  still  be  seen  at  "Turtle 
Island." 

"Binney  Genealogy,"  p.  63,  in  which  some  errors  appear,  says 
that  Mordecai  Lincoln  was  a  foot  soldier  at  Hingham  in  1679, 
but  of  this  I  find  no  other  evidence;  and  that  he  was  a  blacksmith 
at  Hull  at  about  the  age  of  23  and  was  taxed  there,  in  1680-85, 
2sh.  4d  for  a  bull,  and  for  money  in  1684.  It  further  states  that 
his  land  and  residence  are  mentioned  in  a  deed  from  Benjamin 
Bosworth  and  wife  Beatrice  to  Robert  Gould,  Hull,  Dec.  14, 
1682.  Whether  he  lived  at  Hull  or  not  he  must  have  returned 
to  Hingham  soon  after  his  first  marriage,  the  date  of  which  has 
not  been  learned  but  which  must  have  occurred  about  1685, 
since  the  births  of  his  three  oldest  children  are  there  recorded. 
He  prospered  in  his  several  occupations  and  left  at  his  death, 
which  is  said  to  have  occurred  "suddenly  of  an  appoplexy,"  a 
property  which  was  appraised  at  £3099:  14s:  8d.  The  follow- 
ing abstract  of  his  will  gives  all  the  genealogical  facts  contained

(Plymouth  County  Probate  Records,  vol.  v,  f.  518.) 

He  married  (1),  date  and  place  unknown  but  probably  in  1685, 
at  Hull,  Sarah,  daughter  of  Abraham  and  Sarah  (Whitman)  Jones 
of  Hull.  That  he  was  living  at  Hull  in  1685,  at  the  time  of  his 
first  marriage,  seems  to  be  proved  by  a  deed,  dated  March  5, 


FIRST   AND    SECOND    GENERATIONS  21 

1685,  by  which  Mordecai  Lincoln  of  Hull,  blacksmith,  purchased 
from  Job  Chamberlain  of  Boston  shipwright,  and  Joannah  his 
wife  for  £16,14  shillings,  a  meadow  in  Hull,  near  a  certain  place 
commonly  called  Lincoln's  Rocks,  containing  three  acres. 
(Suffolk  County  Deeds,  vol.  xiii,  p.  451.)  No  record  has  as  yet 
been  found  of  the  birth  or  death  of  his  first  wife,  Sarah.  The 
will  of  Abraham  Jones,  dated  Jan.  8,  1716-17,  probated  March 
10,  1717,  after  naming  his  six  sons  says:  **also  my  will  is  that 
my  will  is  [sic]  that  my  son  Thomas  and  my  son  Benjamin 
do  pay  six  pounds  each  to  my  grandchildren  that  are  of  my 
daughter  Linchorne  deceased  (that  is  to  say)  to  each  one  three 
pounds  and  in  all  twelve  pounds  to  them."  (Suffolk  County 
Probate  Records,  vol.  xx,  p.  283.)  Sarah  (Whitman)  Jones 
was  daughter  of  John  Whitman  of  Dorchester  and  Weymouth, 
Mass.  It  is  from  Abraham  Jones  that  the  name  Abraham, 
afterwards  so  celebrated,  first  came  into  the  Lincoln  family. 

Mr.  Lincoln  married  (2),  Feb.  17,  1701-2,  at  Braintree,  Mass. 
(Braintree  Records;  also  Scituate  Records),  Mrs.  Mary  (Ho- 
bart)  Chapin,  daughter  of  Caleb^  (Thomas^,  Edmund^)  and 
Mary  (Eliot)  Hobart  of  Braintree,  born  Jan.  12,  1663-4,  at 
Braintree  (Ibid.);  died  Apr.  19,  1743,  at  Scituate,  aged  79  years, 
3  months.  (Scituate  Records  and  gravestone  in  Groveland 
Cemetery,  North  Scituate;  Cohasset  Vital  Records  say  she 
died  Nov.  28, 1743,  in  her  73rd  year.)  ''History  of  Hingham"  and 
"Cohasset  Genealogies"  say  she  died  1745;  they  also  call  her, 
before  her  marriage  to  Mr.  Lincoln,  a  widow  Gannett,  an  error 
which  has  persisted  and  evidently  arose  from  a  careless  reading 
of  Mr.  Lincoln's  will.  Her  first  husband,  whom  she  married 
May  9,  1688,  at  Braintree  (by  Rev.  P.  Thatcher),  was  SamueP, 
son  of  Josiah^  (Samuel^)  and  Mary  (King)  Chapin  of  Weymouth, 
born  Nov.  22,  1659,  at  Weymouth.  The  date  of  his  death  has 
not  been  found.  (Savage's  Gen.  Diet.,  vol.  i,  p.  360;  N.  E.  Hist. 
&  Gen.  Register,  vol.  xiv,  p.  312.) 

Samuel  and  Mary  (Hobart)  Chapin  had  a  daughter  Mary 
who  married,  June  30,  1712,  at  Scituate,  Matthew  Gannett,  Jr. 
(Scituate  Records),  and  she  seems  to  have  been  mistaken  in 
the  ''History  of  Hingham"  for  her  mother.  July  3,  1793,  a 
division  was  made  between  Uriah  Lincoln  of  Cohasset,  adcac,  and 
Elkanah  Gannet  of  Scituate  of  land  held  in  common  ''being 


22  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

part  of  the  farm  and  Real  Estate  which  Mathew  Gannet  late  of 
Scituate,  deed.,  died  seized  of  .  .  .  bounded  west  upon  lands  of 
Mr  Mordica  Lincoln."  (Plymouth  County  Deeds,  vol.  Ixxvi, 
f.  187.)  Elkanah  was  a  grandson  of  Matthew  and  Mary 
(Chapin)  Gannett,  and  Uriah  was  great-grandson  of  Mordecai 
Lincoln.

July  24,  1692,  at  Hingham;  died  Feb.  21,  1774,  at  Cohasset.  He  was  a 
farmer;  constable,  1719;  and  Hved  in  the  second  precinct  of  Hingham, 
now  Cohasset,  on  King  street  and,  later,  on  North  Main  street,  just 
south  of  the  house  of  the  late  Abraham-Hobart  Tower.  His  will  dated 
Aug.  1, 1771,  was  proved  March  10, 1774.  He  married  (2),  Feb.  26, 1755, 
Persis  (Stockbridge)  Curtis,  daughter  of  Samuel  and  Lydia  (Barrell) 
Stockbridge  of  Scituate  and  widow  of  Joseph  Curtis  of  Hanover,  Mass., 
whom  she  married  Oct.  3, 1751,  at  Scituate.  She  was  born  Jan.  22,  1707-8, 
at  Scituate  and  died  June  24,  1787,  at  Hanover.  (Hist,  of  Hingham,

ag.  Thomas,  son  of  Samuel  and  Martha  Lincoln  of  Hingham, 
Mass.,  born  Aug.  20,  1664,  at  Hingham;  died  Apr.  2,  1715,  at 
Boston,  Mass.,  ''aged  51  years."  (Boston  Records.)  Very  little 
has  been  learned  about  him.  He  was  a  'Haylor"  by  trade  and 
removed  to  Boston  when  quite  young,  certainly  before  1683, 
since  on  Nov.  9,  1683,  George  Ripley  of  Boston  and  Sarah  his 
wife  for  £40-10sh.  current  money,  conveyed  to  Thomas  Lincoln 
of  Boston,  Taylor,  land  at  the  Southerly  end  of  Boston,  ''near 
the  windmill."  (Suffolk  County  Deeds,  vol.  xiii,  f.  38.)  He 
probably  married  for  the  first  time  soon  after  this,  if  he  was  not 
already  married,  though  nothing  is  known  of  his  first  wife  save 
that  her  name  was  Mary.  This  is  proved  by  a  deed  dated  Aug. 
17,  1686,  by  which  Thomas  Lyncolne  of  Boston,  Taylor,  and 
Mary  his  wife  for  £30  current  money,  mortgaged  to  John 
Richards  of  Boston  "their  messuage  or  tenement  with  all  the 
Lands  thereunto  belonging  .  .  .  Neer  unto  the  Wind  Mill, 
Butted  and  bounded  Southerly  by  the  Street  or  highway  leading 
from  Capn  Jacob  Elliots  corner  to  the  Windmill  and  is  there 
Forty  eight  foot  more  or  less.  Eastward  on  the  land  of  the  late 
John  Hull  Esqr  deed  measureing  on  that  side  in  length  One

Purmett,  and  measureth  there  in  breadth  fforty  eight  foot, 
Westerly  on  the  land  of  Thomas  Clarke,  and  measureth  there  in 
length  One  hundred  Thirty  One  Foot."  (Ibid.,  vol.  xiv,  f.  171.) 
This  mortgage  was  to  expire,  Aug.  6,  1688,  but  was  discharged 
on  the  margin,  Nov.  9,  1693.  Meanwhile  his  first  wife  had  died, 
and  he  had  married  a  second  wife  and,  Feb.  23,  1697,  Thomas 
Lincoln  of  Boston,  Taylor,  and  Mehitabell  his  wife,  mortgaged 
to  Jacob  Rogers  of  Boston,  victualler,  a  "Messuage  or  Tenement,

Lincoln,  probably  a  brother.     (Ibid.,  vol.  xviii,  f.  72.) 

Thomas  Lincoln  is  on  the  Boston  tax  lists  for  1687,  1688  and 
1691,  and  is  named  an  inhabitant  in  1695.  His  name  is  among 
the  signers  to  a  petition  relating  to  brick  buildings  in  Boston, 
dated  June  11,  1697.    (Boston  Record  Comm'rs  Reports,  vol.  i.) 

He  married  (2),  Aug.  3,  1689,  at  Boston,  by  Rev.  Joshua 
Moody,  Mehitable,  daughter  of  Capt.  John  and  Mehitable 
Frost  of  Boston,  born  July  15,  1671,  at  Boston.  (Boston  Rec- 
ords.) The  date  of  her  death  has  not  been  learned,  but  it  proba- 
bly occurred  before  1728,  in  which  year  her  surviving  daughters 
conveyed  to  their  brother,  Charles,  all  their  interest  in  their 
father's  real  estate,  and  he  in  turn  sold  it,  no  reference  being 
made  to  the  widow's  interest.  She  was  living,  Nov.  27,  1722, 
on  which  date  ^'Mehetabel  Lincoln  of  Boston,  widow,  one  of 
the  daughters  and  heirs  of  Capt.  John  Frost,  late  of  Boston, 
aforesd  Mariner  deed  .  .  .  for  £50  paid  by  Mary  Frost  of 
Boston  widow  and  relict  of  the  sd  John  Frost"  gave  a  quit-claim 
deed  to  her  of  ''all  right  to  the  Mansion  House  and  land  of  my

of  Boston  fronting  on  Winter  Street."  (Suffolk  County  Deeds, 
vol.  xxxvi,  f.  143.) 

The  births  of  his  first  five  children  are  recorded  at  Boston  and 
the  baptisms  of  the  first  eight  are  recorded  at  the  Old  South 
Church.  There  is  no  record  of  the  birth  or  baptism  of  the  two 
youngest.  In  the  church  records  of  the  baptisms  of  five  of  the 
children  the  father  is  erroneously  called  ''Jonathan."  Boston 
records  say  "a  child  of  Thomas  Lenkhorn  died  Jan.  14,  1707-8." 
This  was  probably  John,  but  may  have  been  the  next  older. 

Child,  by  first  wife,  born  at  Boston: 

aga.  Martha,  born  June  6,  1686,  bapt.  Dec.  19,  1686;  died  soon.  She  is 
called  "Mercy"  in  the  town  records. 

Children,  by  second  wife,  born  at  Boston: 

agh.  Mehitable,  born  Jan.  25,  1690-1,  bapt.  Apr.  19,  1691.  "History  of 
Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  461,  says  "1691-2";  Foss  MS.  says  "Jan.  21,  1690-1." 
The  date  of  her  death  is  not  known,  but  it  was  probably  before  1728,  as 
she  did  not  join  her  sisters  in  releasing  her  interest  in  her  father's  estate 
to  her  brother  Charles  in  that  year.  She  was  married  July  9,  1714,  at 
Boston,  by  Rev.  Thomas  Bridge,  to  Samuel,  son  of  John  and,  probably, 
Sarah  (Goss)  Foss  of  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  the  dates  of  whose  birth  and 


FIRST   AND    SECOND    GENERATIONS  25 

death  are  unknown.  His  father,  John  Foss,  was  son  of  David-Launtseen 
and  Anna  (Hundevard)  Foss  from  Norway  who  settled  in  Rebe,  Den- 
mark, and  died  Aug.  8,  1659,  a  magistrate,  provost  and  minister  of  the 
gospel.  John  was  born  Jan.  2,  1638,  at  Rebe,  and  is  said  to  have  arrived 
at  Boston  on  a  British  war  vessel,  from  which  he  deserted  by  jumping 
overboard  and  swimming  ashore.  He  is  first  mentioned,  Feb.  24,  1657, 
when  he  was  granted  lands  in  Portsmouth.  He  married  (1)  Mary  Chad- 
bourne,  who  was  born  in  1644;  (2)  Jan.  25,  1686,  Sarah,  widow  of  James 
Goss;  and  (3)  EUzabeth,  daughter  of  Wilham  and  Jane  Berry  and  widow 
of  John  Locke  who  was  killed  by  Indians  at  Dover  Plains  June  26,  1696. 
(From  a  Manuscript  Foss  Genealogy  with  N.  E.  Hist.  Gen.  Society.) 
Samuel  was  a  seafaring  man  and  joined  the  church  at  Portsmouth,  Nov. 
13,  1709,  and  was  then  called  "son  of  John  and  EHzabeth  (Berry,  Locke) 
Foss.  His  first  wife,  who  was  named  Mary,  joined  the  Portsmouth  church, 
July  30,  1710,  on  which  date  their  two  children,  Walter  and  Benjamin, 
were  baptized.  He  probably  lived  in  Boston  after  his  second  marriage, 
as  a  child  of  his  was  buried  there  in  1717.

at  Boston,  by  Rev,  Joseph  Sewall,  to  William  Allen,  who  was  perhaps 
son  of  Joseph  and  Ann  Allen  of  Boston,  whose  son,  Wilham,  was  born 
Sept.  22,  1693,  at  Boston.  No  record  has  been  found  of  the  death  of 
either  Wilham  or  Mary,  but  they  were  both  living,  Dec.  23,  1728,  when 
WiUiam  Allen  of  Boston,  mariner,  and  Mary  his  wife,  children  of  Thomas 
Lincoln  late  of  Boston,  Taylor,  "for  £10  currt  money"  paid  by  "our 
brother  Charles  Lincoln  of  Boston  aforesd  Taylor"  quit-claimed  to  him 
their  interest  in  all  the  real  estate  "that  our  father  Thomas  Lincoln  died 
seized  of  in  Boston."  (Suffolk  County  Deeds,  vol,  xhii,  f ,  131.)

and  "Cohasset  Genealogies"  both  say  she  died  in  1755,  but  the  latter 
says:  "in  her  85th  year,"  reversing  the  true  figures.  She  was  married 
July  30,  1717,  at  Boston,  by  Samuel  Lynde,  Esq.,  J. P.,  to  Joseph  Hudson, 
whose  parentage  and  birth  have  not  been  ascertained,  but  who  is  supposed 
to  have  been  a  native  of  Boston.  He  died  in  December,  1774,  as  his  will, 
dated  May  3,  1773,  was  probated  Jan.  6,  1775.  In  it  he  is  described  as  of 
Cohasset  and  it  names :  son  John  Hudson,  son  Ezra  Hudson,  two  grand- 
sons "sons  of  my  son  Frost  Hudson  dec'd,"  son  Joseph  Hudson,  daughter 
Martha  Beal,  daughter  Mehitable  Orcutt,  and  son  Hezekiah  Hudson.  The 
last  named  to  be  executor.  (Suffolk  County  Probate  Records,  vol.  Ixxiii, 
f .  254.)  He  was  a  miller  and  hved  in  the  second  precinct  of  Hingham,  on 
the  "Jerusalem  Road"  near  Straits  pond  and,  in  1737,  owned  three- 
sixteenths  of  a  cornmill  at  the  outlet  of  this  pond,  and  also  one-half  of  a 
saw  mill.    He  was  constable  in  1734.    By  a  deed  dated  Dec.  17,  1728,  and

Having  received  from  his  sisters,  Mary,  Martha  and  Sarah  a  conveyance 
of  their  interest  in  their  father's  real  estate  in  Boston,  he  sold  this  estate 
Dec.  23,  1728,  when  "  Charles  Lincoln  of  Boston,  Taylor,  son  of  Thomas 
Lincoln  of  said  Boston,  Taylor,  deced  ...  in  consideration  of  sixty 
pounds  in  bills  of  credit  on  the  province  of  Massachusetts  Bay  .  .  .  paid 
by  John  Hill  and  Thomas  Hill  both  of  Boston,  distillers"  conveyed  to 
them  land  at  the  southerly  end  of  Boston,  probably  the  same  land  for- 
merly mortgaged  by  his  father,  as  noted  under  his  record,  though  differ- 
ently described.  This  sale  was  consented  to  by  "Mary  Lincoln,  wife  of 
Charles  Lincoln  of  Boston  taylor,"  and  was  acknowledged  by  both  Dec. 
31,  1728.  (Suffolk  County  Deeds,  vol.  xliii,  f.  131.)  As  no  reference  to 
him  has  been  found  in  Boston  or  Suffolk  County  records  after  this  date, 
he  may  have  removed  from  Boston,  or  perhaps  he  shortly  after  died  and 
his  widow  married  as  suggested  below. 

He  married,  July  10,  1728,  at  Boston,  by  Rev.  Samuel  Checkley 
(Boston  Records),  Mary  Farnum,  daughter,  perhaps,  of  Charles  and 
Deborah  (Baker)  Farnam  of  Charlestown  and  born  July  2,  1704,  at 
Charlestown.  Charles  Farnam's  or  Farnham's  wife  Deborah  was  daugh- 
ter of  John  and  Ruth  (Walley)  Baker.  (Charlestown  Estates,  vol.  i,  pp. 
47,  340.)  Dec.  1,  1718,  Mary  Farnum,  a  minor  aged  about  14  years, 
named:  "my  kinsman  David  Farnum  of  Boston,  merchant,  to  be  my 
guardian"  on  estate  "in  right  of  my  grandmother  Ruth  Baker,  late  of 
Charlestown,  deceased."  (Suffolk  County  Probate  Records,  vol.  xxi, 
f.  187.)     There  is  no  record  of  Mrs.  Lincoln's  death  and  it  is  possible 

♦Feb.  2, 1786,  administration  on  the  estate  of  Thomas  Hudson  of  Boston,  cooper,  deceased

her  sister  Martha  Hudson  in  conveying  to  her  brother  Charles,  her  in- 
terest in  her  father's  real  estate  in  Boston.  She  married  July  28, 1731,  at 
Hingham,  Phineas',  son  of  Aaron^  {Phineas^}  and  Sarah  (Wright  [Cum- 
mlngs])  Pratt  of  Hingham,  born  Dec.  31, 1709,  at  Hingham;  died  Sept.  5, 
1779,  at  Granville.  He  was  a  "  housewright "  and  lived  at  Hingham  until 
1740,  when  he  sold  his  share  in  his  father's  estate  to  his  brother,  Aaron, 
and  removed  to  Worcester,  Mass.,  where  he  purchased,  Sept.  8,  1740,  a 
tract  of  sixty-seven  acres  in  Worcester  and,  on  the  same  date,  another 
tract  in  Leicester,  Mass.  The  former  tract  he  sold,  Sept.  4,  1742,  and 
the  latter,  Dec.  13,  1742,  in  both  deeds  being  described  as  "of  a  place 
called  Bedford  in  the  county  of  Hampshire,  colony  of  Massachusetts 
Bay."  (Worcester  County  Deeds,  vols,  xiii,  p.  399;  xiv,  pp.  204,  236; 
XV,  pp.  221,  582.)  The  name  of  Bedford  was  changed  to  Granville,  about 
1754.  Phineas  Pratt  was  selectman  1754,  1755,  1757,  1759-60,  and  1765- 
69.  He  is  called  "captain"  in  the  town  records.  (Hist,  of  Hampden 
County,  vol.  iii,  p.  253;  Granville  Records;  Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  iii, 
p.  117;  Worcester  Records.)  "Phineas  Pratt,"  p.  66,  calls  Mrs.  Pratt 
"Mary,"  says  Mr.  Pratt  was  a  housewright,  that  he  removed  to  Wor- 
cester and  thence  he  or  his  descendants  went  to  Connecticut.

Lincoln  of  Hingham,  Mass.,  born  Feb.  1,  1690-1,  at  Hingham; 
died  March  6,  1758,  at  Hingham.  He  lived  on  the  ancestral 
homestead  on  North  street,  Hingham,  a  carpenter  by  occupation. 
''History  of  Hingham,"  vol.  ii,  p.  462,  says  that  he  held  the  office 
of  ''sheriff."  Probably  deputy-sheriff  is  what  is  meant.  His 
will,  dated  Feb.  23,  1753,  was  probated  March  17,  1758.  It  is 
here  given  in  full  as  a  fair  example  of  the  wills  of  the  period. 
His  estate  was  inventoried  at  £136:4:8  personal;  £514:6:8  real.

Jedediah  Lincoln  married  (1),  Jan.  9,  1716-17,  at  Hingham 
(by  Samuel  Thaxter,  Esq.,  J.  P.),  Bethia^,  daughter  of  Enoch^ 
(James^)  and  Mary  (Lincoln)  Whiton  of  Hingham,  born  Jan. 
20,  1694-5,  at  Hingham;  died  Sept.  24,  1734,  at  Hingham.  Her 
grandfather,  James^  Whiton,  was  an  inhabitant  of  Hingham  as 
early  as  1647,  and  in  1681  was  one  of  the  larger  tax-payers  of 
the  town.  At  his  decease  he  owned  much  landed  property  in 
Scituate,  Abington  and  Hanover,  as  well  as  in  Hingham.  His 
house  was  one  of  those  burned  by  the  Indians,  Apr.  20,  1676. 
Bethia's  maternal  grandfather  was  Stephen  Lincoln,  already 
mentioned  in  the  account  of  her  aunt  Deborah,  aaa.  (Hist,  of 
Hingham,  vol.  iii,  p.  290.) 

Mr.  Lincoln  married  (2),  June  10,  1736,  at  Pembroke,  Mass. 
(Pembroke  Records;  Early  Massachusetts  Marriages,  vol.  ii, 
p.  60),  widow,  Mary  Barker,  of  Pembroke,  who  was,  without 
much  question,  daughter  of  David  and  Sarah  (Gushing)  Jacob 
of  Hanover,  Mass.,  born  July  15,  1692,  at  Scituate  (Scituate 
Records);  who  married  Dec.  28,  1710,  at  Scituate,  Francis^  son 
of  Francis^  (Roherf)  and  Mary  (Lincoln)  Barker  of  Pembroke. 
(Ibid.)  He  was  born  Oct.  18,  1681,  at  Duxbury,  Mass.,  and  died 
in  the  Jerseys  in  1733,  and  had  by  her  eleven  children.  (The 
Barker  Family  of  Plymouth  Colony  and  County,  p.  17;  N.  E. 
Hist.  &  Gen.  Register,  vol.  liii,  p.  428.)  ''History  of  Hingham" 
says  she  died  at  Hingham,  Nov.  22,  1775,  "aged  87  years," 
which  would  make  her  born  in  1688,  but  this  record  of  age,  which 
was  probably  taken  from  a  family  Bible,  is  very  possibly  an  error 
for  82. 

Jedediah  Lincoln  and  his  wife,  Bethia,  are  buried  in  Hingham 
cemetery,  a  double  stone  bearing  the  inscription  here  given. 
There  is  no  stone  in  memory  of  the  second  wife  and  she  is  prob- 
ably buried  elsewhere.  He  had  no  children  by  his  second  wife.

without  dates  or  authorities. 

abac.  Susanna,  born  1712-13;  died  Oct.  29, 1729,  at  Cohasset  "in  her  17tb 
year, "  according  to  her  gravestone  in  Central  burying  ground,  which 
says  she  died  Oct.  28,  but  the  Church  records  say  "aged  15  years." 
Another  gravestone  close  by  is  marked  "to  Joanna  Lincoln,  died  October 
28,  1728  in  her  16th  year,"  and  it  is  uncertain  whether  the  two  stones 
are  for  the  same  person  or  for  sisters. 

abad.  Daniel,  born  May  17,  1719,  bapt.  Aug.  30,  1719.  (N.  E.  ffist.  &

he  died  October  27.  He  lived  near  his  father  in  the  second 
precinct,  and  in  1711  was  taxed  for  a  house  and  three  acres  of

my  Household  Goods,  excluding  Priscilla  above  named  to  be 
equally  divided  to  &  among  them  except  a  Bed  &  Furniture 
thereto  belonging  w^^  my  three  sons  now  use,  w^^  I  give  equally

died  Aug.  5,  1747,  at  Hingham,  in  the  second  precinct.  A  deed 
of  Anna  Cantlebury,  widow  of  Cornelius  Cantlebury  of  Hingham, 
names  their  five  daughters,  viz. :  Mary,  Elizabeth,  Sarah,  Han- 
nah and  Hester;  and  states  that  ''Mary  being  married  to  Francis 
Horswell  of  Hingham"  and  the  said  Anna  not  having  wherewith 
to  pay  a  legacy  of  £10  to  said  Mary,  she,  Anna,  conveyed  to

and,  with  his  first  wife,  Mary,  is  buried  in  Central  burying 
ground.  He  died  Feb.  27,  1717,  in  his  57th  year.  A  deed,  dated

yeoman,  dece'd,  died  Intestate  and  made  no  manner  of  disposal 
of  his  estate,  and  left  issue  two  daughters,  namely  Mary  Lincolne 
wife  of  Hezekiah  Lincolne  and  Sarah  Horse  well  .  .  .  ",  (Ihid., 
vol.  xxxiii,  f.  231.)  Mr.  Lincoln  and  his  two  wives  are  buried 
in  Central  burying  ground,  Cohasset.  (Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.

being  the  oldest  in  that  ground,  but  if  he  is  buried  there  no  stone  marks 
his  grave.  He  lived  in  the  second  precinct  of  Hingham  on  North  Main 
street,  and  was  the  first  representative  of  Cohasset  to  the  General  Court 
in  1776-7.  He  married  (2),  Aug.  27,  1761,  at  Hingham,  Mercy^  daughter 
of  Ebenezer^  {Joh'n})  and  Hannah  (Gannett)  Kent  of  Hingham  and  widow, 
first  of  Stephen  Stodder,  whom  she  married  Nov.  29,  1717  (Hist,  of 
Hingham  says  Nov.  27),  and  second  of  David  Bates,  whom  she  married 
June  8,  1757.  By  her  first  husband  she  had  ten  children.  She  was  born 
July  31,  1708,  at  Hingham,  second  precinct,  and  died  a  widow  Apr. 
5,  or  by  the  church  records  Apr.  6,  1802,  at  Cohasset.  (Hist,  of  Hing-

James,  son  of  Richard  Hall  of  Boston,  but  his  birth  is  not  recorded  there. 
The  will  of  his  father,  Richard  Hall  of  Boston,  dated  Apr.  19,  1744, 
probated  July  3,   1744,  names:  sons  John,  George,  Richard,  WiUiam 
and  Charles  "to  each  five  shillings";  daughter  Constance  "five  shiUings"; 
son  James  "wearing  apparel";  son  James  and  daughter  Mary  residuary

Society's  PubHcations,  vol.  xiv,  p.  405.)     James  Hall  was  a  poll  tax 
payer  at  Hingham  in  1749,  and  an  owner  of  real  estate  there  in  1752. 
He  Uved  in  the  second  precinct,  now  Cohasset,  on  the  east  side  of  the 
common,  in  a  hou^e  which  he  built  in  1750  partly  of  timbers  from  the.

died  early  in  1788,  as  on  March  25,  1788,  his  son  James  was  appointed 
administrator  of  his  estate,  and  the  personal  property  was  allowed  to 
his  widow.  His  estate  was  appraised  Apr.  11,  1788.  (Suffolk  County 
Probate  Records,  vol.  Ixxxvii,  p.  187;  Cohasset  Genealogies,  p.  173;

1746,  at  Hingham,  Nehemiah*,  son  of  EUsha'  {IsraeP,  John})  and  Sarah 
(Lane)  Leavitt  of  Hingham,  born  Nov.  21,  1721,  at  Hingham;  died 
1771,  at  Cohasset,  intestate.  "History  of  Hingham"  questions  this 
date  but  says  that  his  estate  was  settled  Jan.  7,  1773.  He  is  called  both 
''cooper"  and  "blacksmith"  and  was  certainly  the  latter  as  he  charged 
the  town  "for  a  pair  of  tongues"  (tongs)  "for  y*  school  in  2nd  parish." 
(Hist,  of  Cohasset,  p.  178.)  He  lived  in  the  second  precinct  of  Hingham, 
now  Cohasset,  on  North  Main  street,  and  held  the  office  of  constable 
in  1754.  His  paternal  ancestor,  John^  Leavitt,  was  a  resident  of  Dor- 
chester, Mass.,  in  1634  but  soon  went  to  Hingham  and  had  a  grant  of 
a  house-lot  there  in  1636.  (Cohasset  Genealogies,  p.  228;  Hist,  of  Hing-

Lincoln  of  Hingham,  yeoman,  was  admitted  administrator  to  the  estate 
of  Obadiah  Lincoln,  late  of  said  Hingham,  yeoman,  deceased;  Daniel 
Lincoln,  gentleman,  and  Cushing  Kilby,  shipwright,  both  of  Hingham,

lived  on  North  Main  street  in  the  seC6nd  precinct  of  Hingham,  now 
Cohasset.  He  and  his  wife  are  buried  in  Central  burying  ground.  His 
paternal  ancestor,  John^  Beal,  came  from  Hingham,  England,  in  1638 
with  his  wife,  five  sons,  three  daughters  and  two  servants  and  settled 
in  Hingham,  receiving  a  grant  of  land  containing  six  acres  on  what  is 
now  South  street.  He  lived  to  be  one  hundred  years  old,  dying  in  1688.

ada.  MoRDECAi,  son  of  Mordecai  {Samuel)  and  Sarah 
(Jones)  Lincoln  of  Hingham,  Mass.,  born  Apr.  24,  1686,  at  Hing- 
ham;  died  May  12,  1736,  at  Amity,  Pennsylvania. 

It  was  not  until  after  President  Abraham  Lincoln's  death 
that  it  was  seriously  suggested  that  his  ancestry  might  be  traced 
to  one  of  the  Hingham,  Massachusetts,  families.  In  October, 
1865,  the  late  Solomon  Lincoln,  senior,  of  Hingham,  aacdd  e, 
published  an  article  in  the  "New  England  Historical  and  Gene- 
alogical Register,"  entitled  '*  Notes  on  the  Lincoln  Families," 
in  which  he  expressed  his  belief  that  Samuel  Lincoln  of  Hingham 
was  most  likely  the  ancestor  of  the  President.  He  based  his 
belief  on  the  similarity  of  names  of  Samuel's  known  descendants 
and  those  of  the  known  relatives  of  the  President.  These  names 
were  Isaac,  Jacob,  Thomas,  Abraham  and  Mordecai,  the  last 
two,  and  especially  the  last,  being  peculiarly  suggestive,  for  the 
reason  that  Samuel's  son  Mordecai  had  two  sons,  Mordecai 
and  Abraham,  who  had  apparently  left  home  before  their  father's 
death,  and  the  name  Mordecai  is  very  unusual  in  other  New 
England  families.  The  President  himself  had  little  knowledge 
of  his  ancestry.  In  correspondence  with  Mr.  Solomon  Lincoln 
in  1848  he  said:  *'My  father's  name  is  Thomas — my  grandfath- 
er's was  Abraham,  the  same  as  my  own.  My  grandfather  went 
from  Rockingham  County  in  Virginia  to  Kentucky,  about  the 
year  1782,  and  two  years  afterwards  was  killed  by  the  Indians. 
We  have  a  vague  tradition,  that  my  great-grandfather  went 
from  Pennsylvania  to  Virginia,  and  that  he  was  a  Quaker. 
Further  than  this,  I  have  never  heard  anything.  It  may  do  no 
harm  to  say  that  *  Abraham'  and  *  Mordecai'  are  common  names 
in  our  family."  In  another  letter  he  said:  "I  have  mentioned 
that  my  grandfather's  name  was  Abraham.  He  had,  as  I  think 
I  have  heard,  four  brothers,  Isaac,  Jacob,  Thomas  and  John. 
He  had  three  sons,  Mordecai,  Josiah  and  Thomas,  the  last  my 
father.     My  uncle  Mordecai  had  three  sons,  Abraham,  James 


44  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

and  Mordecai.  Uncle  Josiah  had  several  daughters  and  an  only 
son,  Thomas.  My  father  has  an  only  child,  myself  of  course. 
This  is  all  I  know  certainly  on  the  subject  of  names;  it  is  however 
my  father's  understanding  that  Abraham,  Mordecai  and  Thomas 
are  old  family  names  of  ours." 

Mr.  Solomon  Lincoln  himself  never  found  any  confirmation 
of  his  conjecture  but  in  April,  1887,  Samuel  Shackford,  Esq., 
of  Chicago,   111.,   himself  a  descendant  from  Samuel  Lincoln 
(see  aacdb  ca),  in  an  article  in  the  ''New  England  Historical  and 
Genealogical  Register,"  furnished  strong  circumstantial  evidence 
that  Mordecai's  two  sons,  Mordecai  and  Abraham,  went  from 
New  England  to  New  Jersey  and  thence  to  Pennsylvania,  where 
they  died,  leaving  many  descendants.    The  evidence  discovered 
and  presented  by  Mr.   Shackford  has  since  been  more  fully 
presented  in  ''The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,"  by  J.  Henry 
Lea  and  J.  R.  Hutchinson,  Boston,  1909;  and  "Abraham  Lincoln, 
An  American  Migration,"  by  Marion  Dexter  Learned,  Philadel- 
phia, 1909,  to  both  of  which  books  the  reader  is  referred.    The 
latter  sums  up  the  case  as  follows:  "It  cannot  be  reasonably 
questioned  that  Mordecai  Lincoln  and  Abraham,  his  brother,  of 
Monmouth    County,  New  Jersey,  were    the   two    sons  whom 
Mordecai    Lincoln,    of    Hull    [sic],    Massachusetts,    mentioned 
in  his  will  in  1727.    The  circumstantial  evidence  is  quite  convin- 
cing.   First,  the  fact  that  the  father  gave  the  children  at  home 
his  land,  but  to  the  two  brothers,  Mordecai  and  Abraham,  their 
portion  in  cash,  would  indicate  that  they  had  gone  away  from 
home.     Second,  these  two  Lincolns,  Mordecai  and  Abraham, 
are  not  found  in  any  records  of  that  period,  except  in  those  of 
Monmouth  County,  New  Jersey.     Third,  these  two  brothers, 
Mordecai  and  Abraham,  are  found  in  New  Jersey  in  a  settlement 
made  by  New  Englanders,  largely  from  Massachusetts."     To 
this  it  may  be  added  that  it  is  hardly  conceivable  that  there  were 
two  Lincoln  families  at  the  same  period  possessing  two  brothers 
named  Mordecai  and  Abraham,  the  latter  name  being  by  no 
means  common  and  the  former  excessively  rare,  except  in  this 
Lincoln  family.     Further  evidence  of  the  connection  between 
the  Pennsylvania  and  Massachusetts  families  has  recently  been 
discovered  by  the  writer,  in  the  proof  now  offered  in  this  volume, 
that  Abraham's  son  Mordecai  returned  to  Scituate,  Massachu- 


THIRD    GENERATION  45 

setts,  the  home  of  his  presumed  grandfather,  and  was  there 
married.     (See  adhf,) 

It  is  not  known  when  Mordecai  removed  to  New  Jersey, 
but  he  was  certainly  hving  there,  a  married  man,  Sept.  14,  1714, 
on  which  date  John  Bowne,  uncle  of  Mordecai's  wife,  Hannah 
Saltar,  calls  her  in  his  will,  Hannah  Lincon.  For  a  copy  of  John 
Bowne's  will,  see ''Abraham  Lincoln,  An  American  Migration,'* 
pp.  10-11,  and  see  p.  12  for  a  copy  of  a  letter  from  John  Saltar, 
Hannah's  brother,  in  which  he  speaks  of  his  ''brother  Lincon." 
The  settlement  of  John  Bowne's  estate  involved  a  lawsuit  which 
was  commenced  by  Obadiah  Bowne,  the  executor,  against  the 
heirs  in  1716,  and  Mordecai  Lincoln  was  one  of  the  defendants. 
His  name  is  variously  spelled  in  the  Court  records  "Lincoln," 
"Lincorn,"  "Linckorn,"  and  "Lincon."  The  suit  was  first 
brought  against  him  Feb.  28,  1716,  for  a  debt  of  £140  and  the 
plaintiff  was  twice  non-suited.  The  suit  was  renewed  Aug.  27 
and  Nov.  28,  1719,  on  both  which  dates  the  words  "non  est" 
are  written  against  the  defendant's  name.  May  27,  1720,  the  suit 
was  brought  by  Bowne  against  Mordecai  Lincoln  and  Richard 
Saltar  (Lincoln's  father-in-law)  and  was  non-suited  and  being 
renewed,  Aug.  27,  1720,  the  suit  against  Lincoln  was  withdrawn 
by  consent  of  the  plaintiff's  attorney. 

Feb.  29,  1720,  Richard  Saltar  of  Freehold,  Monmouth  county, 
Province  of  New  Jersey,  in  consideration  "of  ye  sum  of  one 
hundred  and  fifty  two  Pounds  Curant  Money  of  ye  Province 
aforesaid,"  sold  to  "  Mordecai  Lincon  of  ye  Same,"  "four  hundred 
are  [?acres]  More  or  Less  besides  allowance  for  barron  Land 
and  High  Ways "  .  .  .  "on  Machaponix  River  &  Gravill  Brook 
in  the  County  of  Middlesex."  Six  years  later.  May  26,  1726, 
Saltar  sold  one  hundred  acres  more  on  Machaponix  river  to 
Mordecai  Lincoln,  but  at  this  time  Lincoln  is  described  as  "of 
the  County  of  Chester  in  the  Prov^^  of  Pensilvania,"  whither 
he  is  supposed  to  have  removed  in  the  year  1720,  as  his  name 
appears  in  the  tax  lists  of  that  county  in  that  year,  the  tax  lists 
showing  that  in  1720  he  was  assessed  "near  y®  Branches  of  the 
French  Creek  &  Brandy  wine,"  in  1722,  in  the  township  of  Nant- 
meal,  and  in  1724  and  1725  in  the  township  of  Coventry.  (Abra- 
ham Lincoln,  An  American  Migration,  pp.  16-19,  22,  24-26.) 
Feb.  28,  1723-4,  he  entered  into  an  agreement  with  Samuel  Nutt 


46  LINCOLN   GENEALOGY 

of  Coventry,  ^* Ironmonger,"  and  William  Branson  of  Philadel- 
phia, "Merch*,"  in  which  he  is  described  as  ^'Ironmonger,"  and 
which  recites  that  these  three  had  *'at  their  Joint  Charge  lately 
erected  Built  and  provided  one  Dwelling  House  and  a  Forge  with 
Engines  belonging  to  their  Iron  Works  besides  other  Buildings 
&  Erections  Situate  Lying  and  being  on  a  Certain  Tract  of  Land 
at  French  Creek."  This  partnership  lasted,  however,  only 
until  Dec.  14,  1725,  when  Lincoln  sold  his  interest  to  William 
Branson  for  ''Five  Hundred  Pounds  of  Current  Lawful  Money 
of  America"  (Ibid.,  pp.  22-4),  but  it  is  of  great  interest  since  it 
proves  that  he  was  in  the  same  business  as  Mordecai  Lincoln 
of  Scituate  and  testifies  to  their  relationship.  Soon  after  this 
he  removed  to  Berks  county,  Pennsylvania,  where  in  1727  he 
was,  with  Benjamin  Boone  and  others,  appointed  viewer  of 
Tulpehocken  road  from  the  Schuylkill  river  to  Oley  (Ancestry 
of  Abraham  Lincoln,  p.  70),  and  this  office  he  seems  to  have 
held  for  some  years,  since,  in  1735,  he  signed  the  return  of  the 
reviewers  of  the  road.  In  1730,  Mordecai  Lincoln  purchased  of 
Thomas  Millard,  303  acres  of  land  in  Exeter  township,  in  or 
near  a  village  which  was  then  called  Amity,  then  in  Philadelphia 
county  but  now  in  Berks,  and  here  he  built  the  house,  still  stand- 
ing, which  until  a  few  years  ago  remained  in  the  possession  of  his 
descendants. 

His  will,  dated  Feb.  22,  1735-6,  probated  June  7,  1736,  is  as 
follows :

THIRD    GENERATION  49 

Mr.  Lincoln  married  (1)  before  1714,  as  is  proved  by  the  date 
of  John  Bowne's  will  already  referred  to,  and  probably  in  Mon- 
mouth county,  New  Jersey,  perhaps  at  Freehold,  Hannah, 
daughter  of  Richard  and  Hannah  (Bowne)  Salter  or  Saltar  of 
Freehold.  No  record  has  been  found  of  her  birth  or  death,  but 
she  was  probably  the  oldest  child  of  her  parents  and  born  about 
1692,  and  her  death  must  have  occurred  not  long  after  the  birth 
of  her  youngest  child  in  February,  1727,  since  her  husband 
married  again  as  early  as  the  summer  of  1729.  (For  notes  on  the 
Salter  and  Bowne  families  see  ''The  Ancestry  of  Abraham 
Lincoln,''  pp.  90-97,  139.) 

Mr.  Lincoln  married  (2),  probably  in  the  summer  of  1729, 
Mary,  thought  to  be  the  daughter  of  Andrew  Robeson  of  Amity 
for  the  following  reason:  "The  'London  Company'  (consisting 
of  Tobias  Collet,  Daniel  Quain  and  Henry  Golding)  took  up  a 
tract  of  1000  acres  in  Exeter  twp.,  Berks  co.,  on  each  side  of  the 
Schuylkill  River,  on  a  warrant  issued  18,  Oct.  1716,  being  part 
of  60,000  acres  grtd  them  in  Penna.  by  Wm.  Penn,  1699.  On  9, 
Nov.  1717  the  Patent  was  issued.  In  Feb.  1718  the  Co.  grtd 
their  right  to  Andrew  Robeson,  then  of  Roxbury  twp.,  Phila. 
Co.  In  May  1730  this  tract  became  vested  in  Mordecai  Lincoln 
the  elder  who  devised  it  to  his  two  sons  Mordecai  and  Thomas 
and  a  posthumous  son  Abraham  who  later  became  prominent 
in  the  political  Hist,  of  Berks  Co."  (Extract  from  a  letter  of 
H.  M.  M.  Richards  of  Reading  to  Gilbert  Cope,  Nov.  24, 
1897.) 

The  date  of  Mrs.  Mary  Lincoln's  birth  has  not  been  learned. 
She  died  in  1783,  at  Amity,  intestate,  and  March  25,  1783,  her  son 
John  was  appointed  administrator  on  her  estate.  She  married 
(2)  before  Jan.  17,  1742,  one  Roger  Rogers,  as,  on  that  date, 
she  gave  a  power  of  attorney  to  her  "  son-in-Law  William  Tallman 
of  Amity,"  in  which  she  is  described  as  "Mary  Rodgers  of 
Exeter  .  .  .  Sole  Executrix  of  Mordecai  Lincon  my  deceased 
Husband."  This  power  of  attorney  was  to  authorize  Tallman 
to  dispose  of  the  one  hundred  acres  of  land  in  New  Jersey,  which 
she  was  authorized  by  Mordecai  to  sell  for  the  benefit  of  his 
daughters,  Anne  and  Sarah,  and  it  was  witnessed  by  Roger 
Rogers.  Tallman  sold  the  land  May  10,  1743,  and  in  the  deed 
Mary  is  called  "widow  and  sole  executrix,  being  now  the  wife  of 


50  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

Rodger  Rodgers."  (Philadelphia  Deeds,  Book  D^,  p.  146.)  Rogers 
died  intestate  and  administration  was  granted  to  Mary  his 
widow,  Dec.  22,  1758.  There  is  no  evidence  of  their  having 
children.  In  June,  1775,  Mary  was  administratrix  on  the  estate 
of  her  son  Thomas.  (Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  pp.  70-72.) 
Children,  by  first  wife,  born:  a-d  probably  at  Freehold,  N.  J.; 
e,  f  probably  at  Coventry,  Pa. : 

adaa.  John,  born  May  3,  1716. 

adab.  Deborah,  born  January,  1717-18;  died  May  15,  1720,  at  AUentown. 
N.  J.,  where  a  monument  in  the  old  cemetery  bears  the  following  in- 
scription: "To  the  Memory  of  Deborah  Lincoln,  Aged  3  yrs,  4  mos, 
May  15,  1720."  Her  death  perhaps  occurred  while  the  family  was  re- 
moving from  New  Jersey  to  Pennsylvania.  (Abraham  Lincoln,  An 
American  Migration,  p.  21;  The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  p.  72/) 

adac.  Hannah,  date  of  birth  unknown;  died  before  1769;  married  before 
Dec.  15,  1742,  Joseph  Millard  of  Amity  who  died  in  1770.  He  apparently 
married  a  second  wife,  since  administration  on  his  estate  was  granted 
Feb.  17,  1770,  to  Mary  Millard;  and  his  wife  Hannah  was  not  living  in 
1709  when,  in  a  quit-claim  deed  made  by  the  children  and  heirs  of  Mor- 
decai  Lincoln  to  establish  a  right  of  his  posthumous  son,  Abraham, 
through  his  father's  will,  Joseph  Millard  is  described  ae  "Esq.  of  Union 
township  and  husband  of  Mordecai's  daughter  Hannah  then  deceased." 
The  same  deed  names  their  children,  "  Mordecai,  Joseph,  Jr.,  James  and 
Barbara  Millard."  That  Hannah  was  married  before  Dec.  15,  1742,  is 
proved  by  a  deed  of  that  date,  by  which  Hannah  Lincoln,  having  married 
one  Joseph  Millard  of  Amity,  conveyed  her  "moiety"  to  one  William 
Tallman.  (The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  pp.  72,  180,  194-5;  Gen. 
&  Pers.  Memoirs  of  Chester  &  Delaware  Counties,  Penn.,  vol.'  i,  p.  404.)

c.  James,  "        " 

d.  Barbara,        "         " 

adad.  Mary,  date  of  birth  unknown;  died  after  1769;  married  in  1742, 
Francis',  son  of  Peter^  {Francis^)  and  Alice  (Worrilow)Yarnall  of  Goshen, 
Pa.,  born  Sept.  27,  1719;  died  after  1769  in  which  year  he,  being  described 
as  "yeoman  of  Reading,  Pa.,"  with  his  wife  Mary  joined  her  brothers 
and  sisters  in  a  quit-claim  deed  to  her  half-brother  Abraham.  Francis 
Yamall  was  a  Quaker  but  his  wife  was  not  and  complaint  of  his  marriage 
"out  o'f  meeting"  was  made  at  Exeter  Meeting  8  mo.  7th,  1742,  and 
testimony  was  formally  made  against  him  10  mo.  30th  of  same  year  as 
follows:  "Whereas  Francis  Yarnell,  son  to  Peter  Yarnall  of  Exeter, 
having  but  a  short  time  past  Requested  of  Friends  to  let  him  come  undei; 
their  care,  which  was  granted  him,  but  for  want  of  being  so  Careful  to 
mind  the  gift  of  God  in  himself  as  he  ought  to  have  done,  he  went  to 
vain  Pastimes,  and  took  a  wife  of  another  Persuasion  and  took  an  oath 
before  Magistrates;  yet,  notwithstanding  what  hath  been  acted  by  him. 
Friends  care  over  him  at  several  times  hath  been  to  bring  him  to  a  sense 
of  his  condition,  but  all  seeming  to  work  no  contrition  in  him,  therefore.

Lincoln  of  Hingham  and  Scituate,  Mass.,  born  Jan.  13,  1688-9,  in 
the  second  precinct  of  Hingham,  now  Cohasset;  died  between  Apr. 
15  and  29,  1745,  at  Springfield,  then  in  Chester  but  now  in  Dela- 
ware county,  Pennsylvania,  the  dates  respectively  of  the  signing 
and  proving  of  his  will.  He  removed,  probably  with  his  brother 
Mordecai,  to  Monmouth  county,  New  Jersey,  and  there  purchased, 
Feb.  11,  1722,  two  hundred  and  forty  acres  of  land  in  Cross- 
wicks,  now  in  Burlington  county,  of  Safety  Boyden,  and  again, 
March  15,  1725,  another  two  hundred  acres  in  the  same  place 
of  Abraham  Vanhorn.  He  had  probably  settled  in  New  Jersey 
several  years  before,  perhaps  as  early  as  1714  or  earlier,  and  was 
certainly  living  in  Monmouth  county  on  Nov.  22,  1720,  when  he 
is  named  as  one  of  the  twenty-two  jurors  in  the  General  Quarter 
Sessions  of  the  Peace.  These  farms  he  conveyed,  Apr.  29,  1730, 
to  Thomas  Williams  of  Freehold,  N.  J.,  for  five  hundred  and 
ninety  pounds  ''current  money  of  New  Jersey,''  being  described 
in  the  deed  as  "blacksmith."  Three  months  previously  he  had 
purchased,  Jan.  16,  1729-30,  of  the  same  Thomas  Williams,  three 

*"Adin  Pancoast  of  Mansfield  township,  West  New  Jersey,  son  of  John  (deceased)  and 
Mary,  and  Abigail  Boone  of  Exeter  township,  daughter  of  William  and  Sarah,  were  married 
5  mo.  28,  1767."     (Records  of  Berks  County  Monthly  Meeting.) 

tWilliam  and  his  wife  are  called-  the  "founders"  of  Boonesborough,  Md.  Of  his  brothers 
the  following  data  have  been  received:  George  mar.  Aug.  6, 1781,  and  died  June  30, 1824,  in  his 
65th  year;  Thomas  mar.  Apr.  20,  1788,  and  died  in  1823 ;  Jeremiah  was  given  a  letter  to  Philadel- 
phia Meeting,  June  27, 1781 ;  his  descendants  are  supposed  to  be  living  there;  Hezekiah  mar.  (1)

and  died  Apr.  1,  1827,  aged  63.  William  Boone  is  thought  to  have  joined  the  Revolutionary 
army,  Dec.  25,  1776.  An  account  of  this  family  in  "  The  Pennsylvania  German,"  vol.  xi,  p.  726, 
contains  several  errors.

hundred  acres  of  land  on  Crum  creek,  in  Springfield,  Penn.,  the 
consideration  being  three  hundred  and  twenty  pounds  ''lawful 
money  of  America,"  and  had  apparently  occupied  this  land  for  a 
year  previous  to  the  purchase.  These  last  two  deeds  are  printed 
in  full  in  ''Abraham  Lincoln,  An  American  Migration,"  pp.  32-43. 
He  continued  to  reside  in  Springfield  until  his  death,  though, 
from  the  fact  that  his  youngest  child  was  baptized  in  Christ 
Church,  Philadelphia,  in  1735  and  that,  after  his  death,  all  his 
children  seem  to  have  lived  in  that  parish,  he  may  have  had 
some  occupation  in  that  city.  By  deeds  dated  March  29  and 
Nov.  19, 1744,  he  purchased  from  the  heirs  of  William  Clare  a  lot 
of  land  on  Elbow  Lane,  Philadelphia,  with  two  tenements  or 
messuages  thereon,  for  one  hundred  and  seventy  pounds,  "lawful 
money  of  Pennsylvania." 

His  will,  dated  Apr.  15,  1745,  and  possessing  much  genealogical 
value,  and  the  inventory  of  his  estate  are  here  given  in  full. 
They  are  copied  from  photographic  reproductions  in  "Abraham

58  LINCOLN   GENEALOGY 

Nothing  has  been  learned  of  Abraham's  wife  except  that  her 
name  was  Rebecca  and  that  she  died  before  him,  as  she  is  not 
named  in  his  will. .  She  is  supposed  to  have  been  living  in  1735, 
when  their  son  Mordecai  was  baptized  at  Christ  Church,  Phila- 
delphia. 

Mr.  Lincoln  is  described  as  '' blacksmith"  in  the  deed  by 
which  he  conveyed  his  lands  in  New  Jersey,  and  also  in  his  will; 
elsewhere  he  is  called  ''yeoman."  From  the  small  value  of 
smith's  tools  given  in  the  appraisal  of  his  property  after  his 
death,  and  the  relatively  large  value  of  farm  property,  it  is 
evident  that  in  the  latter  part  of  his  life  his  smithing  business 
was  subordinate  to  his  farming.  The  fact,  however,  that  he 
was  a  blacksmith  is  additional  evidence  that  he  was  the  son  of 
Mordecai  Lincoln,  the  blacksmith  of  Scituate.

more  has  been  learned  of  them.  (Records  of  St.  Michael's  and  Zion 
Church.) 

adhe.  Rebecca,  a  minor  when  her  father  made  his  will,  Apr.  15,  1745.  She

WilHam^  {William'^,  Joh'n})  and  Elizabeth  (Hodges)  Rush  of  Philadelphia, 
born  Jan.  3,  1719-20,  at  Philadelphia;  died  there  Dec.  20,  1798.  They 
lived  at  Philadelphia  and  he  served  as  coroner,  1780-1785.  He  married 
(2)  Elizabeth  Hilton,  who  died  June  13,  1805,  at  Philadelphia,  aged  67 
years,  by  whom  he  had  ten  children.  "  Alden's  Epitaphs,"  vol.  i,  No.  174, 
says  she  died  in  1806  but  administration  on  her  estate  was  granted  June 
18,  1805.  Mr.  Rush's  will,  dated  May  1,  1796,  proved  Jan.  16,  1799, 
names  his  wife,  Elizabeth,  and  nine  children  of  whom  six  were  by  his 
second  wife.  The  children  named  are:  Elizabeth  Allen,  Mary  Tatem, 
WiUiam  Rush,  Catharine  Cochrin,  Susanna  Rush,  Benjamin  Rush, 
Esther  Rush,  Sarah  Rush  and  James  Rush.  (Phila.  Registry,  vol.  Y,

adbf .  Mqrdecai,  born  May,  1734. 

adbg.  John.  He  was  under  fourteen  years  of  age  when  his  father  made  his 
will,  Apr.  15,  1745,  and  from  the  solicitude  with  which  his  father  pro- 
vided for  him  in  that  document  he  was  evidently  the  youngest  and  fa- 
vorite child.  He  could  not  long  have  survived  his  father,  since  the  land 
devised  to  him  reverted  to  his  brother  Abraham  and  was  by  him,  by  his 
will  dated  Feb.  17,  1747,  divided  between  his  two  children,  Rebecca  and 
Hester.  Proof  of  this  is  furnished  in  "The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lin- 
coln," p.  179,  but  on  p.  68  of  the  same  volume  he  is  said  to  have  been 
born  about  1732,  and  to  have  been  living  in  1759  at  Amity,  Penn.,  "a 
single  man."  In  this  last  statement  he  must  be  confused  with  his  cousin 
Abraham,  adai. 

adc.  Isaac,  son  of  Mordecai  (Samuel)  and  Sarah  (Jones) 
Lincoln  of  Hingham  and  Scituate,  Mass.,  born  Oct.  24,  1691, 
at  Hingham,  second  precinct;  died  Jan.  15,  1771,  at  Cohasset, 
and  is  buried  with  his  two  wives  in  the  Central  burying  ground. 
He  was  called  ''mariner"  and  lived  for  some  time  at  Scituate, 
but  during  most  of  his  life  in  the  second  precinct  of  Hingham, 
now  Cohasset,  in  a  house  which  his  father  built  about  1717, 
and  bequeathed  to  him  in  1727.  This  house  is  probably  the 
oldest  complete  house  still  standing  in  Cohasset.  In  1749, 
Isaac  Lincoln  was  taxed  in  Hingham  for  the  following  property : 
one  house,  one  acre  of  orchard,  one  acre  of  tillage,  thirteen 
acres  of  mowing,  fifty-five  acres  of  pasturage,  seven  barrels  of 
cyder,  twenty  bushels  of  corn,  two  tons  of  English  hay,  six  tons 
of  meadow  hay,  three  and  a  half  tons  of  salt  hay,  twelve  cow 
leases,  one  horse,  two  oxen,  five  cows  and  twelve  sheep.  (Hist,  of 
Cohasset,  p.  245.)  He  died  intestate  and  Jan.  25,  1771,  Isaac 
Lincoln,  Gent°,  and  Mordecai  Lincoln,  Yeoman,  both  of  Co- 
hasset District,  were  admitted  administrators  on  his  estate, 
which  was  inventoried  at  £1383:2:8  real;  £124:5:4  personal. 
(Suffolk  County  Probate  Records,  vol.  Ixx,  pp.  34,  143.) 

He  married  (1),  Feb.  14,  1716,  at  Scituate  (Scituate  Records), 
published  at  Hingham,  Jan.  25,  1716-17,  Sarah^  daughter  of 
Abraham^  (John^,  Isaac^)  and  Sarah  (Wright)  Cummings  of 
Woburn,  Mass.,  born  Feb.  10,  1693-4,  at  Woburn  (Cummings 
Genealogy,  p.  7);  died  Sept.  17,  1720,  at  Hingham. 

He  married  (2),  Feb.  7,  1739,  at  Scituate  (Scituate  Records; 
Cohasset  Genealogies  says  Jan.  24,  1739,  but  this  must  be  the 
date  of  publishment),  JaeP,  daughter  of  Joseph^  (Richard^)

Scituate;  died  Aug.  16,  1770,  at  Cohasset.  Her  gravestone  in 
Central  burying  ground  says  she  died  Aug.  16,  1776,  in  her  78th 
year,  but  this  must  be  a  stone  cutter's  error.  (Hist,  of  Hingham,

adf .  Jacob,  son  of  Mordecai  (Samuel)  and  Mary  (  [Hobart] 
Chapin)  Lincoln  of  Hingham  and  Scituate,  Mass.,  bapt.  May  23, 
1708,  at  Scituate;  date  and  place  of  his  death  not  learned  but  it 
occurred  between  Sept.  15,  1779,  when  he  made  his  will,  and 
Sept.  1,  1780,  when  the  will  was  probated.  He  lived  at  Scituate, 
probably  on  the  paternal  homestead  which  he  inherited  from 
his  father,  near  the  mouth  of  Bound  brook  and  very  near  the 
Cohasset  line.  In  the  Hingham  tax  list  for  1749  he  was  assessed 
only  for  seventy-three  acres  of  pasturage  and  eighteen  cow  leases, 
but  for  no  house  or  rateable  poll.  With  his  brother  Isaac  he 
inherited  his  father's  interest  in  the  grist  mill,  saw  mill  and  iron 
works  which  his  father  had  established,  and  he  retained  an 
interest  or  ownership  in  the  grist  mill  until  his  death,  but  proba- 
bly sold  his  interest  in  the  iron  works,  as  there  is  no  mention 
of  them  in  his  will.  ''History  of  Hingham,"  vol.  ii,  p.  464,  says: 
"according  to  tradition  he  removed,  late  in  hfe,  to  Lancaster. 
Mass.,"  but  in  this  it  has  probably  confused  him  with  his  grand- 
son Jacob,  adfad,  as  there  is  absolutely  no  evidence  that  he 
ever  lived  at  Lancaster,  and  his  will,  dated  a  year  before  his 
death,  calls  him  of  Scituate. 

The  will  of  Jacob  Lincoln  of  Scituate,  yeoman,  dated  Sept.  15, 
1779,  and  probated  Sept.  1,  1780,  names:  wife  Hannah  [sic, 
Susannah?];  son  Obadiah  living  in  Cohasset;  son  Caleb,  to  whom

(Scituate  Records.) 

He  married  (2),  March  17,  1762,  at  Scituate  (Ibid.;  Early 
Massachusetts  Marriages,  vol.  ii,  p.  172),  widow  Susanna 
Marble  of  Scituate,  of  whom  nothing  is  certainly  known,  but 
who  was  probably  widow  of  Nathaniel  Marble  of  Beechwoods, 
in  the  second  precinct  of  Hingham,  and  if  so  was  daughter  of 
Chasling  and  Hester  (Bate)  Worrick  of  Hingham,  second  pre- 
cinct, born  Aug.  29,  1718,  at  Hingham.  See  ^'Cohasset  Genealo-

at  Scituate,  aged  91  years.  He  was  a  farmer,  Hving  at  Scituate  between 
Great  Swamp  and  Mount  Hope.  No  children  are  given  to  them  in  Sci- 
tuate records,  but  the  "History  of  Scituate,"  p.  266,  says  that  his  son 
Nathaniel  inherited  the  farm  at  Great  Swamp  and  that  it  afterwards 
passed  to  his  sons  Thomas  and  Nathaniel. 

Child: 
a.     Nathaniel,  born  1766;  mar.  EHzabeth  Wade.

adfh.  Thomas,  born  Oct.  9,  1745.  Nothing  has  been  learned  of  him,  except 
that  his  brother  Caleb's  will  mentions  "the  children  of  my  late  brother 
Thomas." 

adfi,.     Elizabeth,  born  Oct.  11, 1747;  died  Nov.  16, 1751,  at  Scituate. 

adfj.  Lydia,  born  Nov.  13,  1749,  bapt.  Nov.  25,  1749;  date  of  her  death  not 
learned.  She  married  June  21,  1767,  at  Hingham,  second  precinct, 
Simeon^,  son  of  Stephen"*  {Stephen^,  Samuel^,  John^)  and  Mercy  (Kent) 
Stodder  of  Hingham,  born  Jan.  16,  1736-7,  in  the  second  precinct  of  Hing- 
ham; date  of  death  not  learned.  They  hved  on  Beechwood  street,  Co- 
hasset,  near  the  Hingham  line  but  removed,  soon  after  their  marriage,  it  is 
said,  to  Springfield,  Vt.  He  is  said  to  have  been  a  soldier  in  the  revolu- 
tion. (Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  iii.,  p.  199;  Cohasset  Genealogies,  p.  409; 
Scituate  Records.) 

Child,  born  at  Cohasset: 

a.  Thomas,  born  Aug.  28,  1767;  mar.  Sally  Stodder. 
(Perhaps  others  at  Springfield.) 
Note:  Both  the  "History  of  Hingham"  and  "Cohasset  Genealogies" 
omit  Thomas  and  Ehzabeth  from  the  children  of  Jacob,  but  add  Isaac 
on  the  authority  of  Deane's  "History  of  Scituate."  Mr.  Deane  was 
mistaken,  however,  in  the  parentage  he  assigns  to  Isaac,  who  was  son 
of  Isaac'*  {Solomon^,  Joshua^,  Thomas^  the  husbandman)  and  Abigail 
(Melius)  Lincoln,  and  was  born  March  5,  1742,  at  Scituate.  As  his 
parentage  and  birth  are  clearly  given  in  the  Scituate  records  it  is  strange 
that  Mr.  Deane  made  such  an  error. 

♦Simeon,  son  of  Simeon  and  Sarah   (Briggs)  Vinal,  was  born  March  4,  1795,  at  Scituate. 
tRebecca,  daughter  of  Daniel    and  Susanna  (Battles)  Newell  was  born  July  16,  1794,  at 
Scituate. 


FOURTH  GENERATION 

aaba.  Samuel,  son  of  Samuel  (Samuel,  Samuel)  and  Ruth 
(Gushing)  Lincoln  of  Hingham,  Mass.,  born  Feb.  14,  1714-15, 
at  Hingham;  died  Dec.  10,  1783,  at  Hingham.  He  lived  on 
North  street  near  Hobart's  bridge.  The  *' History  of  Hingham'' 
does  not  indicate  which  of  the  many  bridges  in  Hingham  was 
known  as  "Hobart's."  The  homestead  of  Samuel's  father  and 
grandfather  was  near  ''Thaxter's"  bridge  and  perhaps  that 
bridge  bore  both  names.  He  is  probably  the  Samuel  Lincoln 
who  was  present  at  the  siege  of  Louisburg  in  some  capacity, 
and  received  pay  for  assisting  in  '^  wooding  the  garrison."  He 
was  a  seaman  by  occupation  and  in  1754  was  master  of  the  sloop 
"Mermaid,"  of  eighty-five  tons  burden,  which  was  engaged 
in  the  expedition  under  Gen.  John  Winslow  to  secure  the  passes 
between  Quebec  and  New  England,  and  which  fortified  several 
places  on  the  Kennebec.  (Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  i,  part  i,  pp. 
253-4.)  He  was  in  later  life  styled  "captain."  His  will,  dated 
Sept.  17,  1781,  probated  Dec.  23,  1783,  names:  sons  Zadock 
Lincoln,  Seth  Lincoln  and  Samuel  Lincoln;  daughters  Deborah 
Gill,  Joanna  Hobart,  Mary  Lincoln  and  Jane  Lincoln.  To  the 
last  two  he  left  "all  the  wearing  apparel  of  my  two  Deceased 
Wife's."  The  executors  were  son  Seth  and  friend  Joseph  Thaxter. 
(Suffolk  County  Probate  Records,  vol.  Ixxxii,  p.  937.) 

He  married  (1),  about  1742  or  1743,  Mary  Bates,  whose  paren- 
tage and  birth  have  not  been  learned.  The  "History  of  Hing- 
ham" says  she  was  probably  of  Scituate  or  Hanover,  Mass., 
but  gives  no  reason  for  this  supposition,  nor  proof  that  her 
surname  was  Bates.  The  Scituate  and  Hanover  records  throw 
no  hght.  She  died  July  3,1763,  at  Hingham,  "in  her  39th  year," 
and  was  therefore  born  about  1723-4. 

He  married  (2),  Oct.  16,  1763,  at  Hingham,  Mrs.  Frances 
(Jones)  Lincoln,  widow  of  Jedediah  Lincoln,  aaca.  Her  parentage 
has  not  been  learned.  She  was  born  about  1723  and  died  July  21, 
1781,  at  Hingham,  "in  her  58th  year." 

Mr.  Lincoln  and  his  two  wives  are  buried  in  Hingham  ceme-

1748,  at  Hanover,  Mass.,  while  his  parents  were  temporarily  residing 
there  (Hanover  Records.);  died  March  2,  1827,  at  Winchendon,  Mass. 
(Winchendon  Records.)  He  was  a  carpenter  by  occupation  and  lived  at 
Hingham  until  after  the  births  of  his  children,  but  finally  removed  to 
Winchendon  and  continued  there  until  hie  death.  His  ancestor  Thomas^ 
Gill  was  one  of  the  early  settlers  at  Hingham,  arriving  at  about  the  same 
time  as  Rev.  Peter  Hobart  and  receiving  the  grant  of  a  house-lot  of  five 
acres,  near  what  is  now  the  corner  of  Main  and  South  streets,  in  1635. 
(Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  ii,  pp.  268,  271;  Winchendon  Records.)

aahac.    Reuben,  born  Sept.  23,  1749;  probably  died  before  his  father,  s.  p., 
as  he  is  not  named  in  his  father's  will. 

aabad.  Seth,  born  Apr.  27,  1751. 

aabae.  Mary,  born  May  27,  1754;  date  of  her  death  not  ascertained.  "Hist- 
ory of  Hingham"  says  that  she  married  WiUiam  Vinal  of  Scituate,  Sept. 
16,  1789,  but  this  is  an  error  as  his  wife  was  the  daughter  of  Enoch  Lin- 
coln, aacbk.  Mary  was  living,  unmarried,  when  her  father  made  his  will, 
Sept.  17,  1781. 

aabaf.  Joanna,  born  Aug.  22,  1756;  died  Sept.  7, 1828,  at  Hingham;  married 
Nov.  4,  1779,  at  Hingham,  Daniel^,  son  of  SamueP  (Peter^,  SamuePf 
Edmund^,  Edmund^)  and  Lydia  (Marsh)  Hobart  of  Hingham,  born  March 
19,  1757,  at  Hingham;  died  Apr.  15,  1795,  at  Hingham.  His  ancestor 
Edmund^  Hobart  was  a  native  of  Hingham,  England,  and  arrived  at 
Charlestown  with  his  son  Thomas  in  1633  and,  the  same  year,  went  to 
"Bare  Cove,"  Hingham,  though  it  is  thought  he  did  not  settle  there  per- 
manently until  the  arrival  of  his  son  the  Reverend  Peter.  (Hist,  of 
Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  334.) 

Daniel  and  his  wife  lived  at  Hingham.     He  was  a  private  in  Capt^ 
James  Lincoln's  Independent  Company  which  was  stationed  at  "Crow

Thomas  Hersey's  Company  at  the  siege  of  Boston;  in  the  following 
June  he  was  a  private  in  a  Company  under  Lieut.  Heman  Lincoln  which 
was  stationed  at  Hull  for  a  few  days;  and  in  1778,  he  was  corporal  in 
Capt.  Peter  Cushing's  Company  which  was  stationed  at  Nantasket. 
This  appears  to  have  closed  his  military  service.  {Ibid.,  vol.  i,  Pt.  i,

street  near  Hobart's  bridge,  was  a  blacksmith  by  trade  and 
held  the  office  of  constable  in  1747.  ''He  was  a  man  of  great 
public  spirit,  a  devout  Christian  and  patriot.  His  age  dis- 
qualified him  from  active  service  in  the  war  of  the  Revolution, 
but  he  was  well  represented  by  his  sons."  (Records  of  Rev. 
Charles-Lincoln  Morgan,  aahck  aa-.)  His  will,  dated  Apr.  5,

He  married,  Apr.  24,  1745,  at  Boston,  by  Edward  Winslow, 
Esq.,  J.  P.  (Boston  Records;  Hist,  of  Hingham  says  ''April

*Feb.  6, 1819,  Mary  Hobart  refused  to  serve  as  administratrix  on  the  estate  of  Reuben  L. 
Hobart,  late  of  Boston,  and  requested  that  James  Hendly  of  Boston,  tinplate  worker,  may  be 
appointed  in  her  stead.  Feb.  8, 1819,  said  Hendly  represented  that  Reuben  L.  Hobart,  late  of 
Boston,  a  bricklayer,  deceased,  intestate,  last  lived  in  Boston — that  said  Hendly  is  a  brother-in- 
law  of  said  deceased.  He  was  appointed  administrator.  (Suffolk  County  Probate  Records,

of  Hingham,  born  June  27,  1721,  at  Hingham;  died  June  23, 
1793,  at  Hingham.  A  family  record  says  she  died  June  2.  Her 
grandfather  Daniel  Lincoln  the  '^ sergeant,"  known  also  as 
''boatman,"  ''seaman"  and  "the  senior  Daniel  Lincoln,"  and 
sometimes  called  "the  young  man,"  is  by  some  thought  to  be 
the  Daniel  who  was  baptized  at  St.  Andrew's  Church  in  Hingham, 
England,  March  28,  1619.  He  was  a  resident  of  our  Hingham

the  common  lands  were  divided.  (Hist  of  Hingham,  vol.  ii,

about  Boston;  and  he  was  next  enrolled  as  sergeant  in  Capt. 
Charles  Cushing's  Company  of  Gen.  William  Heath's  Regiment, 
which  took  part  in  the  siege  of  Boston.  In  the  Canada  expedition 
in  1776  he  served  as  ensign  in  Capt.  Cushing's  Company.  In 
1778  he  was  lieutenant  in  the  expedition  under  Gen.  Hancock 
to  co-operate  with  the  French  fleet.  In  1779  he  was  lieutenant 
in  Capt.  Luke  Howell's  Company  on  service  in  Rhode  Island, 
and  from  Sept.  1,  1779,  to  Jan.  1,  1780,  he  commanded  a 
Company  in  Col.  Webb's  Regiment.  (Hist  of  Hingham,  vol.  i, 
Pt.  i,  pp.  258,  267,  277,  282,  284,  317,  321-2,  325,  327,  329.) 

He  married,  Aug.  5,  1760,  at  Hingham,  Lydia^,  daughter  of 
Joseph^  (Peter^,  John^,  Nicholas^)  and  Ruth  (Wilson)  Jacob  of 
Hingham,  born  1739;  died  Nov.  6,  1830,  at  Hingham,  aged  91 
years.  Her  ancestor,  Nicholas^  Jacob,  according  to  ''Cushing's 
Manuscript,"  ''with  his  wife  and  two  children  and  their  cosen 
Thomas  Lincoln,  weaver,  came  from  old  Hingham  and  settled 
in  this  Hingham,  1633."  It  is  supposed  that  Lydia's  parents 
removed  from  Hingham  before  her  birth  as  it  is  not  recorded

He  lived  on  the  paternal  homestead,  corner  of  East  and  Leavitt  streets,

town,  where  he  was  an  inhabitant  Jan.  2,  1635-6,  and  probably  settled  at

** History  of  Hingham"  gives  these  dates,  but  in  the  records  of  the 
Second  Church  at  Scituate,  under  date  of  March  16,  1717-18, 
Rev.  Nathaniel  Eells  states:  "Being  at  Hingham  and  Preaching 
there  after  Sermon  in  the  afternoon  I  Baptized  severall  children. - 
as-Jedediah  Lincoln  Son  of  Jedediah  Lincoln  and  Bethia  his

a  hatter  by  occupation  and  lived  during  most  of  his  active  life 
at  Boston,  but  returned  to  Hingham  before  his  death.  His 
name  occurs  in  the  Boston  records  but  once:  "At  the  meeting 
of  the  Select  men,  Oct.  3,  1774,  Mr.  John  Earle  master  of  One 
of  the  Fire  Engines  Appeared  &  informed  that  Joseph  Belcher

Mary,  daughter  of  Humphrey  and  Mehitabel  (  [Harris]  Pierce) 
Scarlett  of  Boston,  born  Nov.  23,  1719,  at  Boston.  ''History  of 
Hingham,"  vol.  ii,  p.  465,  and  '' Wentworth  Genealogy,"  vol.  iii, 
p.  7,  both  say  that  she  was  daughter  of  Humphrey's  second 
wife,  Mary  Went  worth,  who  did  not  marry  Humphrey  until 
1733.  A  more  careful  examination  of  the  Boston  records  cor- 
rected this  error.  See  ''N.  E.  Hist.  &  Gen.  Register",  vols,  viii, 
p.  246;  XV,  p.  272. 

He  married  (2),  March  12,  1753,  at  Hingham,  Frances  Jones, 
parentage  unknown,  who  was  born  about  1723  and  died  July 
21,  1781,  at  Hingham  ''in  her  58th  year."  She  married  (2),  Oct. 
16,  1763,  at  Hingham,  Jedediah's  cousin,  Samuel  Lincoln,  aaha. 

Mr.  Lincoln's  gravestone  in  Hingham  cemetery  is  inscribed 
as  follows:  "Here  Lies  |  Buried  y^  Body  J  of  ™''  Jedediah  % 
Lincoln  ^"°  who  J  Died  July  30*^  t  1759  in  y"  41^*  t  Year  of  his 
J  Age."  His  first  wife  was  probably  buried  in  Boston;  his  second 
wife  is  buried  beside  her  second  husband,  Samuel  Lincoln. 

Humphrey  Scarlett,  father  of  the  first  Mrs.  Lincoln,  was  an 
"inn-holder."  His  first  wife,  Mehitabel  Pierce,  was  widow  of 
Samuel  Pierce  of  Charlestown,  Mass.,  who  married  in  1711 
Mehetabel,  daughter  of  Thomas  and  Rebecca  Harris.  He  was 
born  Feb.  8,  1690,  at  Boston  and  died  Apr.  24,  1714,  at  Charles-

her  gravestone  in  Central  burying  ground  says  "Dec.  21st  in  her  22nd

and  Martha  (Lincoln)  Hudson,  agdi,  of  Hingham,  born  June  11,  1738,

part  of  his  life  he  was  a  mariner,  and  was  employed  in  the  coast- 
ing trade  by  Governor  Hutchinson,  for  whom  he  had  ever  a 
strong  partiality,  until  political  differences  forced  him  to  a  less 
favorable  opinion.  In  later  years  he  was  a  '^ glazier"  by  trade, 
but  he  devoted  the  latter  part  of  his  life  to  farming.  Solomon 
Lincoln,  aacdd,  in  his  *' History  of  Hingham,"  p.  148,  says  of 
him:  ''He  is  often  mentioned  in  the  sketch  of  civil  history;  he 
was  a  zealous  and  independent  whig,  a  prudent,  discreet,  shrewd 
and  sensible  man."  He  lived  on  Lincoln  street,  Hingham,  and 
was  selectman  1754-1756  and  1781.  In  August,  1774,  he  was  one 
of  a  committee  chosen  by  the  town,  to  draft  a  covenant  relative 
to  the  non-consumption  of  all  articles  imported  from  Great 
Britain,  to  be  signed  by  the  citizens.  The  town  adopted  the 
covenant  as  reported,  but  stayed  further  proceedings  until 
the  report  of  the  Continental  Congress.  On  Dec.  30,  1774,  Mr. 
Lincoln  was  appointed  one  of  a  committee  to  take  into  considera- 
tion the  state  of  the  militia,  of  which  committee  Gen.  Benjamin

Lincoln  was  chairman.  Aug.  16, 1775,  he  was  chosen  to  represent 
the  town  in  the  General  Court  then  sitting  at  Watertown,  and 
May  23  following,  he  was,  with  Theophilus  Gushing  and  John 
Fearing,  chosen  representative  to  the  next  General  Court,  and 
on  the  same  day  the  following  instructions,  prepared  by  a  com- 
mittee of  the  town  consisting  of  Benjamin  Lincoln,  Hezekiah 
Gushing  and  Deacon  Joshua  Hersey ,  were  given : 

''To  Enoch  Lincoln,  Theophilus  Gushing  and  John  Fearing: 
Gentlemen: — You  are  delegated  to  represent  the  town  of  Hing- 
ham  in  the  next  General  Court  to  be  held  in  this  colony;  and 
although  we  entertain  the  highest  sense  of  your  integrity,  pa- 
triotism, and  Ability,  of  which  we  have  given  full  evidence  in 
appointing  you  to  this  weighty  trust,  yet  as  matters  of  the 
greatest  importance  relative  to  the  freedom  and  happiness  not 
only  of  this  but  of  all  of  the  United  Colonies,  on  which  you  may 
wish  to  have  the  advice  of  your  constituents,  will  come  before 
you  for  your  determination — you  are  instructed  and  directed 
at  all  times  to  give  your  vote  and  interest  in  support  of  the  present 
struggle  with  Great  Britain.  We  ask  nothing  of  her  but  'peace, 
Liberty,  and  Safety.'  You  will  never  recede  from  that  claim; 
and  agreeably  to  a  resolve  of  the  late  House  of  Representatives, 
in  case  the  honorable  Continental  Congress  declare  themselves 
independent  of  the  Kingdom  of  Great  Britain,  solemnly  to 
engage  in  behalf  of  your  constituents,  that  they  will  with  their 
lives  and  fortunes  support  them  in  the  measure.  You  will  also, 
as  soon  as  may  be,  endeavor  to  procure  a  more  equal  representa- 
tion of  this  colony  in  General  Assembly;  and  that  it  be  by  fewer 
members  than  at  present  the  several  towns  have  a  right  to 
return;  and  when  this  is  effected  you  will  give  your  vote  for 
calling  a  new  house. 

''Benjamin  Lincoln,  Town  Clerk." 

In  May,  1777,  Mr.  Lincoln  was  chosen  to  represent  the  town 
alone.  He  was  instructed  to  assist  in  forming  a  Constitution, 
on  the  condition,  that  it  should  be  laid  before  the  town  "for 
their  approbation  or  disapprobation,  before  the  establishment 
thereof."  But  in  the  following  June  the  town  reconsidered  their 
previous  vote  instructing  the  representative,  and  voted,  "that 
upon  mature  deliberation,  this  town  direct  said  representative 
on  no  terms  to  consent  to  it,  but  to  use  his  influence  and  oppose  it

heartily,  if  such  an  attempt  should  be  made;  for  we  apprehend, 
this  matter,  at  a  suitable  time  will  come  before  the  people  at 
large,  to  delegate  a  select  number  for  that  purpose,  and  that 
only;  and  that  he  exert  his  influence  that  such  a  body  be  formed 
as  soon  as  may  be." 

On  May  18,  1778,  he  was  again,  and  for  the  last  time,  chosen 
representative  together  with  Joseph  Thaxter,  and  in  the  following 
June  the  town  voted  ''not  to  accept  of  the  form  of  government 
proposed  by  the  General  Court,  for  the  State  of  Massachusetts 
Bay,"  and  at  the  same  time,  instructions  were  given  to  the 
representatives,  "to  use  his  influence  that  a  constitution  be 
formed,  at  some  suitable  time,  by  a  body  chosen  by  the  people 
for  that  purpose  and  that  only  J  ^ 

In  a  manuscript  account  of  Mr.  Lincoln  by  his  great-grandson, 
Levi  Lincoln,  aacbc  ab,  now  in  possession  of  the  compiler,  he  is 
described  as  ''a  decided  and  ardent  whig  and  one  of  the  most 
influential  men  of  his  party.  His  mind  was  of  vigorous  and 
masculine  cast  and  his  conversation  always  turned  upon  grave 
and  important  subjects.  He  was  uncommonly  prudent  and 
circumspect  in  conduct,  scrupulously  avoiding  error.  In  manner 
he  was  reserved." 

His  will,  dated  May  2,  1795,  probated  June  21,  1802,  is  as 
follows:  "I  Enoch  Lincoln  of  Hingham  in  the  county  of  Suffolk 
and  commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  Yeoman,  in  consideration 
of  the  uncertainty  of  human  life  do  make  this  my  last  will  and

ancestor,  John^  Fearing,  according  to  Cushing's  manuscript, 
''came  from  Cambridge,  in  old  England,"  with  Matthew  Hawke 
and  wife,  ''and  settled  in  New  Hingham  1638."  On  her  mother's 
side  she  was  descended  from  John  Johnson,  an  early  settler  at 
Roxbury,  who  came  over,  probably,  in  the  fleet  with  Winthrop. 
One  of  his  sons  was  Capt.  Isaac  Johnson  who  was  killed  in  the

was  a  respectable  farmer  and  large  landholder.

liam^, son  of  IsraeP  {Israel^,  Jacob^,  John})  and  Mercy  (Cushing)  Vinal 
of  Scituate,  bapt.  Oct.  5,  1766,  at  Scituate;  died  Feb.  28, 1818,  at  Quincy, 
"aged  53  years."  The  Scituate  records  of  this  marriage  call  her  "Mary," 
which  may  be  the  reason  why  the  "History  of  Hingham"  calls  Wilham 
Vinal's  wife  the  daughter  of  Samuel  and  Mary  (Bates)  Lincoln,  aahae. 
He  is  called  "captain"  in  the  record  of  his  death  at  Quincy.  They 
probably  had  no  children  as  no  evidence  of  them  has  been  found. 

She  married  (2),  Apr.  17,  1820,  at  Quincy,  Isaac,  son  of  Gawm  and 
Mary  (Bell)  Riddle  of  Bedford,  N.  H.,  born  June  10,  1762,  at  Bedford; 
died  Jan.  3,  1830,  at  Quincy.  "History  of  Bedford"  says  he  died  Jan. 
26,  1830,  and  that  his  wife  Mercy  was  born  Jan.  27,  1760,  and  died  Apr. 
5,  1837,  but  these  are  errors.  Mr.  Riddle  was  an  active  and  public 
spirited  citizen;  captain  of  the  first  canal  boat  on  the  Middlesex  canal; 
and  a  manufacturer  of  cotton,  wool  and  nails  at  Sauhegan.  He  was  a 
volunteer  soldier  in  the  Revolution  under  Col.  Nichols,  serving  at  West 
Point  in  1780,  and  was  in  command  of  a  Company  of  volunteers  for  home 
defence  in  1814.  He  married  (1),  in  1788,  Ann,  daughter  of  Capt.  James 
and  Margaret  (Waugh)  Aiken  of  Bedford,  born  Nov.  12,  1764,  at  Bed- 
ford; died  Apr.  6,  1804;  by  whom  he  had  four  or  five  children.  He 
married  (2),  in  1806,  Margaret,  daughter  of  Jacob  McGaw  of  Merrimac, 
N.  H.,  born  May  25,  1776;  died  Dec.  19,  1816;  by  whom  he  had  three 
children.  (Quincy  Records;  Hist,  of  the  Ancient  Ryedales,  p.  221;

at  Hingham;  died  Nov.  17,  1792,  at  Hingham.  He  was  a  farmer 
living  on  Lincoln  street,  Hingham.     ''At  the  commencement 


FOURTH   GENERATION  79 

of  the  Revolutionary  war  he  was  inclined  to  the  side  of  the 
Crown.  After  hostilities  began  he  suppressed,  if  he  did  not 
abandon  his  attachment  to  the  Royal  cause.  His  disposition 
was  amiable  and  his  temper  peculiarly  cheerful.  In  his  excur- 
sions with  his  elder  brother,  Enoch,  who  loved  to  reason,  he 
delighted  to  put  an  array  of  argument  to  flight  by  some  good 
humored  jest.  He  possessed  an  inquisitive  and  active  mind 
but  was  more  desirous  to  be  loved  for  kindness  than  admired 
for  intellectual  powers."    (Manuscript  by  Levi  Lincoln,  aachc  ah.) 

In  his  will,  dated  Nov.  4,  1792,  probated  Jan.  1,  1793,  he 
names:  ''son  Solomon";  "three  sons  Otis,  William  and  Henry"; 
and  leaves  to  ''Lucy  Lewis  for  her  long  and  faithful  services  in 
my  family,"  a  comfortable  maintenance  "as  long  as  she  remains 
unmarried."  This  Lucy  Lewis  was  daughter  of  Joseph^  {James^, 
George^)  and  Elizabeth  (  [Vickery]  Dixon)  Lewis  of  Hingham, 
born  Oct.  23,  1730;  died  Feb.  3,  1794,  unmarried.  (Hist,  of 
Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  442;  Suffolk  County  Probate  Records,  vol. 
xci,  p.  689.) 

He  married,  about  1760,  probably  at  Scituate,  Mary^,  daughter 
of  Ephraim^  {Job^,  John^,  John^)  and  Rachel  (Hersey)  Otis  of 
Scituate,  born  1736,  at  Scituate  probably;  died  Sept.  12,  1773, 
at  Hingham,  "in  her  37th  year."  Her  paternal  ancestor,  John^ 
Otis,  was  a  native  of  Barnstaple,  England,  and  came  to  Hingham 
in  New  England  with  Rev.  Peter  Hobart  and  his  company,  and 
drew  a  house-lot  Sept.  18,  1635.  Late  in  life  he  removed  to 
Weymouth,  Mass.,  where  he  died.  His  son  John  settled  in 
Scituate  and  Barnstable  and  left  a  numerous  posterity.  (Hist.

Capt.  James  Lincoln's  Company,  which  was  engaged  only  in 
home  defence  the  first  part  of  1776,  the  name  of  Ezekiel  Lincoln 
appearing  on  its  rolls.  He  is  called  ''farmer,"  but  must  have 
been  a  very  small  one  as  his  real  estate  was  valued  at  but  £12 
in  1771,  on  the  Cohasset  tax  list.  In  the  settlement  of  his  estate 
he  is  described  as  ''joiner,"  and  in  1773  he  was  employed  about 
the  Meeting  House  and  was  paid  that  year  for  "Ringing  the 
Bell  and  takeing  Care  Meeting-house  and  tolling  the  Bell  1£ 
15s.8d."  (Hist,  of  Cohasset,  pp.  276,  372;  Hist  of  Hingham, 
vol.  i,  Pt.  i,  p.  287.)  He  lived  on  Sohier  street,  Cohasset,  in  a 
house  built  by  his  father.  June  3,  1776,  Elizabeth  Lincoln  of 
Cohasset,  widow,  was  appointed  administratrix  on  the  estate  of 
Ezekiel  Lincoln,  late  of  Cohasset,  Joiner,  deceased,  intestate. 
The  sureties  were  Jeremiah  Lincoln  and  Job  Cushing,  gentlemen, 
both  of  Cohasset.  (Suffolk  County  Probate  Records,  vol.  Ixxv, 
p.  246.) 

He  married,  Apr.  25,  1754,  at  Hingham  (Scituate  Records), 
Elizabeth^,  daughter  of  John^  (Israel^,  Robert,  John^)  and  Sarah 
(Tower)  Whitcomb  of  Scituate,  Mass.,  born  Feb.  2,  1737-8,  at 
Scituate  {Ibid.);  died  March  5,  1824,  at  Cohasset.  (Cohasset 
Genealogies;  p.  236;  Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  466,  says  "died 
March  8.")  Her  paternal  ancestor,  John^  Whitcomb,  a  native  of 
Dorchester,  England,  was  a  resident  of  Dorchester,  Mass.,  in 
1633,  but  removed  to  Scituate  in  1640  and  thence  to  Lancaster, 
Mass.,  in  1654.    (Deane's  Hist,  of  Scituate,  p.  380.)

months  and  twenty-four  days  for  which  he  received  jE6:16:10.  Shortly 
after  this  he  commanded  a  boatload  of  sailors,  who  captured  a  British 
vessel  loaded  with  rum,  which  not  knowing  of  the  evacuation  of  Boston 
was  sailing  into  the  harbor  and  became  becalmed  off  Cohasset.  In 
December,  1776,  he  was  again  under  Capt.  Job  Cushing  in  service  in  New 
York,  and  in  1778  served  under  Capt.  Baxter  in  an  expedition  to  Rhode 
Island.  After  Burgoyne's  surrender  he  enlisted  for  three  years  in  Capt. 
Noah  Nichols'  Company,  Col.  Jackson's  Regiment.  In  1787  he  was 
major  in  the  second  regiment  of  militia.  He  held  the  office  of  collector  in 
1799  and  1822,  and  was  on  the  school  committee  in  1801,  1806,  1809  and

Chloe's  gravestone  calls  her  "wife  of  Deacon  Abel  Kent,"  so  he  must

Hingham,  Catherine^,  daughter  of  Richard^  (John^)  and  Abigail 
(Cushing)  Kilby  of  Hingham,  born  Apr.  26,  1720,  at  Hingham; 
died  Jan.  11,  1755,  at  Hingham.    They  had  no  children. 

Mr.  Lincoln's  will,  dated  Feb.  5, 1771,  probated  March  19, 1771, 
provides  as  follows:  ''Imprimis  I  give  &  bequeath  unto  WilHam 
Kilby  son  of  Sarah  Kilby  dec^  &  the  Heirs  lawfully  begotten  by 
him  forever  the  whole  of  my  Estate  both  Real  &  personal  of 
any  sort  or  kind  whatever.  But  in  default  of  such  Issue,  my  Mind 
&  Will  is  that  the  whole  of  what  I  have  given,  to  the  said  William 
as  aforesaid,  should  descend  to  my  Nephew  Allyne  Lincoln 
his  Heirs  &  Assigns  forever  .  .  .  My  executor  ...  to 
improve  the  same  for  the  benefit  of  the  said  William  Kilby  .  .  . 
in  that  way  and  manner  he  shall  judge  most  for  the  Interest  of 
the  Child,  until  he  comes  to  the  age  of  twenty  one  years."  Ex- 
ecutor, Benjamin  Lincoln.  (Suffolk  County  Probate  Records, 
vol.  Ixx,  pp.  113, 144-6.)  The  estate  was  inventoried  at  £137:12:3 
personal,  and  £576:10:0  real.  This  will  is  incorrectly  quoted 
in  ''History  of  Hingham,"  vol.  ii,  p.  463,  making  it  appear  that 
William  Kilby  was  a  son  or  grandson  of  Daniel  Lincoln.  April 
19, 1771,  Benjamin  Lincoln  was  appointed  Guardian  unto  "Wil- 
liam Kilby,  a  Minor  under  fourteen  years  of  age.  Son  of  Sarah 
Kilby  late  of  Cohasset,  deceased."  {Ibid.,  p.  461.)  Sarah  Kilby 
was  a  sister  of  Daniel  Lincoln's  wife.  "William,  a  son  of 
Sarah  Kilby,"  was  bapt.  July  17,  1763,  at  Cohasset.  (Cohasset

abae.     Thomas,  son  of  Obadiah  (Daniel,  Samuel)  and  Susanna 
(Gill)  Lincoln  of  Hingham,  Mass.,  born  Jan.   14,   1722-3,  at 
Hingham;  died  Feb.  5,  1784,  at  Cohasset,  Mass.,  and  is  buried 
'^  I  in  the  Central  burying  ground.    (Gravestone.)    He  was  a  farmer 
and  lived  in  the  second  precinct  of  Hingham,  now  Cohasset,  on 


86  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

Elm  street,  sometimes  known  as  "Ship  Cove  Lane."  He  held 
no  civil  office  but  was  moderator  of  town  meeting  in  1777.  In 
1749  he  was  taxed  for  1/2  a  dwelling  house,  24}/^  acres  of  land, 
1  cow  and  11  sheep.  In  1771  his  real  estate  was  valued  at 
£140:14:0  for  taxation. 

He  married,  June  9,  1754,  at  Hingham  (Cohasset  Records), 
Mrs.  Rebecca^  (Allyne)  Kilby,  daughter  of  James^  (Thomas^, 
Samuel^,  Thomas^)  and  Susannah  (Lewis)  Allyne  of  Barnstable, 
Mass.,  born  Nov.  24,  1723,  at  Barnstable  (Barnstable  Records); 
died  Apr.  29,  1808,  at  Cohasset  *'aged  84  years''  (Cohasset 
Records),  but  her  gravestone  in  Central  burying  ground  says 
she  died  "May  1,  1808  in  her  86th  year."  Her  first  husband, 
whom  she  married  Jan.  12,  1748,  was  WilHam  Kilby,  brother 
of  the  wife  of  Thomas  Lincoln's  brother,  Daniel,  ahad.  (Hist, 
of  Cohasset,  pp.  246,  275;  Cohasset  Genealogies,  pp.  218,  233; 
Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  467;  Genealogies  of  Barnstable 
Families,  p.  10.)  The  last  authority  is  mistaken  in  saying  that 
Rebecca,  daughter  of  James  and  Susanna  (Lewis)  Allyne  married 
Rev.  Josiah  Crocker  of  Taunton,  Mass.  His  wife  was  daughter 
of  Ebenezer  and  Rebecca  (Russel)  Allen  of  Tisbury,  Mass. 
(See  "Ministry  of  Taunton,"  p.  37.) 

Mr.  Lincoln's  will,  dated  Nov.  28,  1783,  probated  May  4, 
1784,  names:  wife  Rebecca;  "each  of  my  children  viz. — Susan- 
nah Lewis,  Sarah  Hall,  Olive,  Rebecca,  Christopher,  and  Sarah 
daughter  of  my  late  son  Allen-  Lincoln."  (Suffolk  County 
Probate  Records,  vol.  Ixxxiii,  p.  419.)

intentions  published  Feb.  12,  1780,  at  Boston,  Mass.,  John  Lewis  whose 
parentage  and  date  and  place  of  birth  are  undetermined,  but  who  may 
have  been  the  son  of  James-Hawke  and  Lydia  (Pratt)  Lewis  of  Hing- 
ham, whose  son,  John,  was  born  Jan.  3,  1754,  at  Hingham.  (Hist,  of 
Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  444.)  He  died  in  1805,  probably  at  sea,  certainly 
away  from  home,  for  Joel  WUlcutt's  diary  under  date  of  Dec.  20,  1805, 
says:  "This  day  rec'd  the  melancholy  news  of  the  death  of  John  Lewis." 
He  was  a  "master-mariner"  and  lived  on  Elm  street,  Cohasset,  in  a 
house  which  he  built  about  1780. 

Captain  Lewis  was  not  a  deep  sea  captain  but  commanded  small 
schooners  in  the  fishing  business.  In  1783  he  owned  the  "Hawk"  of 
sixty-one  tons;  in  1785  the  "Bethiah"  of  sixty-two  tons;  in  1787  the 
"Betsey"  of  fifty-four  tons;  and  in  1793  the  "Polly"  of  sixty-eight  tons. 


FOURTH    GENERATION  87 

How  many  of  these  he  personally  commanded  is  not  stated,  but  his  fish- 
ing property  in  1796  was  valued  at  about  £3000. 

In  February,  1793,  a  Danish  ship  was  wrecked  at  Cohasset  and  her 
crew,  twenty-one  in  number,  were  rescued  and  cared  for  by  Cohasset 
people.  So  kindly  were  they  treated  and  so  great  was  their  gratitude, 
that  on  their  return  to  Copenhagen  they  gave  the  king  such  a  repre- 
sentation of  the  people  of  Cohasset,  that  he  sent  over  four  large  gold 
medals  and  ten  of  silver  for  various  citizens,  among  whom  one  to  receive 
a  gold  medal  was  John  Lewis.  Two  communion  cups  of  the  First  Parish 
Church  have  the  following  inscription:  "This  cup  is  the  gift  of  the  widow 
Susanna  Lewis,  it  being  the  proceeds  of  a  gold  medal  from  the  King  of 
Denmark  to  her  late  husband  Capt.  John  Lewis',  1824."  The  rest  of 
the  value  of  the  gold  medal  was  used  to  make  a  silver  porringer  for  Rev. 
Jacob  Flint  by  his  wife,  the  daughter  of  Captain  Lewis.  The  porringer 
was  owned  in  1898  by  Abraham-Hobart  Tower  of  Cohasset.  "History 
of  Hingham,"  vol.  ii,  p.  467,  says  that  Susanna  married  (2)  Rev.  Jacob 
Fhnt  of  Cohasset  and  died  May  15,  1848,  in  her  91st  year,  but  this  was 
her  daughter,  Susanna.  (Cohasset  Genealogies,  pp.  153,  229-30;  Hist,

5, 1766,  at  Scituate;  died  1804  [?]  at  Scituate.  He  is,  without  much  doubt, 
the  Israel  Vinal  who  married,  Nov.  8,  1801,  at  Scituate,  Miss  Lydia 
Litchfield  of  Scituate,  but  the  Scituate  records  and  Deane's  "History  of 
Scituate"  are  both  very  confusing  about  the  several  Israel  Vinals,  and 
it  is  difficult  to  distinguish  them.  Plymouth  county  probate  and  land 
records  may  sometime  straighten  the  tangle.  It  is,  however,  quite  evident 
from  the  data  in  the  following  excerpts,  taken  from  Deane's  "History  of 
Scituate"  and  from  Scituate  records,  that  Israel  Vinal  married  (1), 
June  22,  1786,  Rebecca  Bailey  (daughter  of  Amasa  and  Jael  [Cushing] 
Bailey  of  Scituate,  bapt.  Oct.  2,  1768),  by  whom  he  had  two  children: 
Lydia  and  Sophia;  that  he  married  (2)  Sarah  Lincoln;  and  (3),  Nov.  8, 
1801,  Lydia  Litchfield  (daughter  of  Thomas  and  Lydia  [Cole]  Litch- 
field of  Scituate,  born  Apr.  5,  1761,  at  Scituate),  who  died  June  17, 
1825,  at  Scituate.

nah (Salter)  Lincoln  of  Freehold,  N.  J.,  born  May  3,  1716,  at 


FOURTH    GENERATION  93 

Freehold;  died  November,  1788,  at  Linville's  Creek,  Va.,  and 
was  there  buried.  ''The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,"  on 
the  authority  of  Miss  M.  J.  Roe  of  Gilbert,  Ohio,  gives  1711  as 
the  date  of  John's  birth,  but  1716  is  now  known  to  be  correct  as 
will  be  shown  later.  He  undoubtedly  went  with  his  father  to 
Pennsylvania,  but  possibly  returned,  later,  to  New  Jersey,  since 
his  father  left  him  by  his  will  in  1735,  three  hundred  acres  of 
land  on  Cranberry  brook,  Middlesex  county,  N.  J.,  leaving  all 
his  Pennsylvania  property  to  his  younger  sons.  He  was,  however, 
living  in  Pennsylvania  Oct.  9,  1746,  on  which  date  he  bought  of 
Thomas  Lloyd  about  fifty  acres  of  land  in  Union  Street,  Berks 
county,  being  described  in  the  deed  as  ''of  Carnarvon,  yeoman." 
The  three  hundred  acres  in  New  Jersey,  which  he  inherited 
from  his  father,  he  conveyed,  for  £200,  to  WilHam  Dye,  by  deed 
dated  Nov.  8,  1748,  in  which  he  is  described  as  "of  the  Township 
of  Carnarvin  in  the  County  of  Lancaster  and  Province  of  Pensel- 
vania  weaver  the  son  and  Heir  of  Mordecai  Lincon  deceased." 
From  1748  to  1765  he  acquired  other  lands  in  Union  and  Amity 
townships  and  his  name  appears  in  the  Berks  county  tax  lists 
from  1754  to  1765,  but  in  this  latter  year  he  had  sold  the  last 
of  his  lands  in  Pennsylvania,  and  he  probably  removed  soon 
after  to  Virginia,  where  he  purchased  by  deeds  of  lease  and 
release,  June  21  and  22,  1768,  six  hundred  acres  on  the  west  side 
of  Linville's  creek,  a  few  miles  north  of  Harrisonburg,  in  that 
part  of  Augusta  county  which  is  now  Rockingham.  "Abstracts 
from  the  Records  of  Augusta  County,"  vol.  iii,  p.  474,  records 
this  transaction  thus:  "22d  June  1768.  Zechariah  McKay 
(and  Lydia),  Moses  Mckay  (and  Mary),  Robert  and  James 
McKay,  of  Frederic  County,  to  John  Lincoln  (Linkhorn), 
£250.,  600  acres  on  Linvel's  creek,  part  of  1200  acres  patented 
to  McKay,  Green  and  Hite,  26th  March  1739,  and  by  them 
conveyed  to  Robert  McKay,  20th  Jan.  1746,  and  by  Robert 
devised  to  grantors  here;  Teste  Michael  Waren,  John  Jackson. 
Delivered  John  Linkhorn  December,  1768."  There  he  was 
living  on  the  7th,  11th  and  12th  of  August,  1773,  on  which  dates 
he  and  his  wife  Rebecca  deeded  two  hundred  and  ten  acres  to 
their  son  Abraham,  and  two  hundred  and  fifteen  to  their  son 
Isaac.  John  Lincoln  is  generally  called  "Virginia  John"  to 
distinguish  him,  it  is  said,  from  his  own  cousin  of  the  same  name, 


94  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

the  son  of  Abraham  and  Rebecca  Lincoln,  adbg,  but  as  that 
John  is  thought  to  have  died  when  quite  young,  the  sobriquet 
may  have  been  given  to  distinguish  him  from  his  nephew  John, 
adagh.  The  behef  of  President  Lincoln  that  his  great-grand- 
father was  a  Quaker  seems  to  be  founded  only  on  tradition, 
which  probably  was  due  to  the  intimacy  and  intermarriages 
of  the  Lincoln  family  with  the  Boones  and  others  who  were 
Quakers.  (Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  pp.  76,  196,  199; 
Abrahani  Lincoln,  An  American  Migration,  pp.  100-117.) 

The  will  of  John  Lincoln  has  been  found  but  recently.  It  was 
probated  in  Rockingham  county  June  22,  1789.  During  the 
Civil  war  most  of  the  records  of  that  county  were  burned  in  one 
of  the  many  raids  which  afflicted  that  part  of  Virginia,  and  it  is 
supposed  that  the  copy  of  Lincoln's  will  was  among  those  des- 
troyed. Some  years  after  its  probate,  however,  his  daughter 
Rebecca  and  her  husband,  John  Rymel,  brought  a  suit  against 
her  brothers,  Jacob  and  John,  the  surviving  executors  of  the  will, 
claiming  that  she  had  been  defrauded  of  her  inheritance.  The 
papers  iji  this  suit  are  preserved  in  the  court  house  at  Staunton, 
Va.,  and  include  a  copy  of  John  Lincoln's  will  and  of  the  ap- 
praisement of  the  personal  estate,  and  through  them  a  flood  of 
light  is  thrown  upon  this  family.    The  will  is  as  follows: 

"In  the  name  of  God  Amen  I  John  Lincoln  Sr  of  the  parish  of 
Rockingham  in  the  County  of  Rockingham  and  State  of  Virginia, 
being  sick,  weak  and  infirm  in  body,  but  of  perfect  mind  and 
memory,  thanks  be  to  God  therefor,  calling  to  mind  the  mortality 
of  my  body,  and  knowing  that  it  is  appointed  for  all  men  once 
to  die,  do  make  and  ordain  this  my  Last  will  and  Testament; 
That  is  to  say  principally  and  first  of  all  I  give  and  recommend 
my  soul  into  the  hands  of  God,  that  gave  it;  and  as  for  my  body 
I  recommend  it  to  the  Earth,  to  be  buried  in  a  Christian  like  and 
decent  manner,  at  the  discretion  of  my  Executrix  and  Executors. 
And  as  touching  such,  worldly  Estate  wherewith  it  has  pleased 
God  to  bless  me  in  this  life,  I  give  devise  and  dispose  of  so  much 
of  the  same  as  I  am  possessed  of  in  the  following  manner  and 
form.  Imprimis,  It  is  my  will  and  I  do  order  that  in  the  first 
place  all  my  Just  Debts  and  funeral  charges  be  paid  and  satisfied.

sum  of  five  pounds,  to  be  raised  out  of  my  personal  Estate,  and 
paid  her  at  the  death  of  my  wife  a  widow.  Item.  I  give  and 
devise  to  my  son  Thomas,  and  his  heirs,  and  assigns  forever,  all 
the  Land  that  I  now  hold  or  have  a  title  for,  it  being  the  Planta-

to  my  son  John  as  before  said.  Item.  I  give  and  bequeath

and  personal  Estate,  which  shall  remain  after  the  other  Legacies 
are  paid  off,  and  after  the  Death  of  my  said  wife  or  widow.  Item. 
I  give  and  bequeath  to  my  GrandDaughter  Hannah  Bryan  the 
sum  of  five  pounds,  to  be  raised  out  of  my  personal  Estate  and 
paid  to  her  when  she  arrives  at  the  age  of  Twenty  one  years. 
N.  B.  The  Moneys  or  Legacies  before  mentioned  are  all  to  be

From  the  papers  on  file  the  following  facts  appear:  Thomas, 
the  remainder  man,  after  the  death  of  John  Lincoln,  resided 
with  his  mother,  Rebecca,  for  ''about  two  years  when  a  fire 
unluckily  broke  out  in  their  dwelling  house,  and  no  one  but 
women  and  children  being  at  home  to  aid  in  extinguishing  the 
flames  or  in  removing  their  property,  the  house,  furniture  and 
wearing  apparel  together  with  a  considerable  sum  in  money 
was  lost  in  the  flames.'^  Rebecca  then  went  to  reside  with  her 
son  Jacob,  and  Thomas,  desiring  to  remove  to  Kentucky,  with 
his  wife  Elizabeth  conveyed  to  Jacob  his  interest  in  the  planta-

tion,  the  consideration  being  £560  of  which  £100  was  to  go  to 
the  widow,  Rebecca,  who  gave  her  consent  although,  according 
to  the  plaintiffs  in  the  case,  she  was  not  in  a  situation  of  mind 
capable  of  making  a  contract  ''being  about  seventy  years  of  age 
and  her  mind  so  much  impaired  as  to  render  her  utterly  incapable 
of  attending  to  her  own  interests  or  making  any  contract  whereby 
her  rights  could  be  properly  transferred."  Jacob,  on  the  other 
hand,  asserts  that  "he  would  have  been  far  from  thinking  that 
his  mother  from  age,  imbecility,  or  any  other  cause  was  incapable 
of  making  a  contract."  In  a  letter  of  John  Lincoln,  Jr.,  one  of 
the  defendants  in  this  suit,  written  to  his  nephew  David  Lincoln 
June  27,  1810,  he  states:  ''my  mother  had  now  for  a  considerable 
time  been  living  at  Hannah  Harrison's,  who  became  sick  and 
soon  bedfast;  our  mother  very  old,  somewhat  peevish,  and  a 
little  jealous,  began  to  view  herself  as  rather  an  incumbrance 
where  she  was  but  did  not  certainly  know  where  else  to  go.  She 
made  frequent  applications  to  me  to  take  her  to  my  home  before 
she  succeeded.  My  wife,  who  had  already  experienced  some 
of  the  trouble  of  taking  care  of  an  old  person  (a  grandfather  by 
the  father's  side)  at  her  father's  .  .  .  stood  opposed  to  it,  .  .  . 
But  Hannah  Harrison  was  like  to  die  and  leave  her  mother; 
none  of  the  old  woman's  friends  were  willing  to  be  troubled 
with  her  ...  a  short  time  prior  to  Hannah's  death  my  mother 
prevailed  on  me  to  remove  her  to  my  house  .  .  .  and  shortly 
after  she  entered  into  a  written  agreement  with  me  by  which 
I  was  to  find  her  every  .  .  .  accommodation  ...  as  long 
as  she  lived  and  at  her  death  bury  her  in  a  decent  .  .  .  manner 
beside  her  husband.  .  .  .  Your  grandmother  died  July  21, 
1806."  "J°°  Lincoln's  will  is  dated  Feb.  8,  1786,  he  deceased 
Nov.  1788,  .  .  .  there  are  £5  apiece  left  to  Sarah  Dean  and 
Hannah  Brian." 

John  Lincoln,  Jr.,  lived  "at  some  distance  from  the  widow 
whose  plantation  joined  Jacob  Lincoln's  and  with  whom  also 
she  lived  for  a  long  time."  John  states  in  his  before  mentioned 
letter  to  his  nephew  that  "there  were  burnt  in  T.  Lincoln's 
house:  cash  $10,  half  a  six  plate  stove,  a  chest,  five  chairs,  a  box, 
two  spinning  wheels,  a  big  kettle,  a  dresser  and  some  furniture, 
a  fire  tongs,  shovel  &  gridiron,  and  a  pair  of  stillyards."  The 
value  of  these  according  to  the  appraisal  was  £9.6.6. 


FOURTH   GENERATION  99 

John  Lincoln  married,  July  5,  1743,  0.  S.,  probably  in  Berks 
county,  Pa.,  Mrs.  Rebecca  (Flowers)  Morris,  daughter  of  Enoch 
and  Rebecca  Flowers,  born  March  30,  1720,  O.  S.;  died  July  20, 
1806,  probably  at  Linville's  Creek,  Va.  She  was  widow  of 
James  Morris,  by  whom  she  had  a  son,  Jonathan  Morris,  born 
Oct.  3,  1739.  The  foregoing  dates  and  names  as  well  as  the 
date  of  John  Lincoln's  birth,  the  dates  of  births  of  his  children 
and  the  family  record  of  his  son,  John  Lincoln,  Jr.,  are  from  a 
manuscript  record,  now  destroyed,  which  was  formerly  in  the 
possession  of  Mrs.  Rachel  (Lincoln)  Drake,  adaaf  d,  and  copied 
in  1886  by  Mr.  Josiah  Morrow  of  Lebanon,  Ohio,  who  kindly 
loaned  his  copy  to  the  compiler,  for  use  in  this  genealogy.  The 
dates  are  undoubtedly  correct  and  disprove  several  dates  given  in 
''The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln"  and  by  other  authorities. 
As  a  means  of  permanent  preservation  of  this  important  record 
Mr.  Morrow's  memorandum  and  copy  are  here  printed  in  full: 

''Dr.  Isaac  L.  Drake  of  this  place,  has  permitted  me  to  copy 
the  following  from  the  family  records  of  a  branch  of  the  Lincoln 
family  contained  in  an  old  manuscript  volume  in  his  possession 
which  formerly  belonged  to  his  mother,  a  cousin  of  President 
Lincoln's  father.  These  records  give  some  information  concern- 
ing the  President's  ancestors  which  I  have  not  seen  in  any  account 
of  his  genealogy.  The  old  book  containing  the  records  appears 
to  have  been  used  originally  as  a  'cyphering  book'  and  contains 
tables  of  weights  and  measures  and  considerable  arithmetical 
work.  It  also  contains  several  pieces  of  poetry,  original  and 
selected.  The  book  consists  of  about  a  quire  of  foolscap,  sewed 
together  and  covered  with  leather.  On  the  cover  is  plainly 
written  'Rachel  Lincoln  Jan.  29,  1807.'  Rachel  Drake  often 
told  her  children  the  story  of  the  killing  of  her  uncle  in  Kentucky 
by  an  Indian  and  the  killing  of  the  Indian  by  the  son  of  the 
murdered  man  very  much  as  it  is  told  in  the  new  biography  of 
President  Lincoln.  John  Lincoln,  Rachel's  father,  came  from 
Rockingham  county,  Va.  about  1818  to  Warren  county,  Ohio, 
where  he  resided  until  his  death.  He  was  farmer  and  tanner 
with  education  enough  to  survey  land  and  to  teach  his  children 
the  elementary  English  branches.

Rimel,  whose  birth  and  parentage  are  unknown.  "History  of  Rocking- 
ham County"  in  the  record  of  marriages  calls  John  Rimel 's  wife  "Mar- 
garet Lincoln,"  an  obvious  error  as  John  Lincoln  had  no  daughter  Mar- 
garet, and  the  lawsuit  against  his  estate  was  brought  by  John  and  Rebecca 
Rimel.  John  Rimel  died  sometime  between  Feb.  27,  1823,  and  Dec.  21, 
1832,  in  Greene  county,  Tenn.,  whither  he  had  removed  before  Oct.  24, 
1808,  when,  being  then  called  of  Greene  county,  he  purchased  142  acres  of 
land  "on  some  of  the  Draughts  of  Birds  Branch  and  Middle  Creek  being 
part  of  a  tract  of  land  granted  to  Thomas  WiUiamson  by  the  State  of 
North  Carolina  by  a  patent  bearing  date  17th  July  1794."  Subsequently, 
in  1809  and  1813,  he  acquired  234  acres  more  "on  Higgins  branch  of 
Horse  Creek  and  on  the  south  side  of  Nolachucky  river."  (Greene 
County  Deeds,  Books  8,  p.  299;  9,  p.  210;  10,  p.  185.)  Dec.  21,  1832, 
Jacob  Hoyle,  administrator  of  John  Rimel,  deceased  of  Greene  county,  in 
a  deed  given  to  George  Rimel  of  Sevier  county,  Tenn.,  witnesses  "that 
said  Rimel,  deceased,  did  in  his  life  time  on  Feb.  27,  1823,  execute  a  bond 
in  which  he  bound  himself  to  make  to  his  two  sons,  John  Rimel  and 
George  Rimel,  a  deed  in  fee  simple  to  several  tracts  of  land  all  connected, 
on  one  of  which  the  said  Rimel,  deceased,  lived,  on  Horse  Creek,  includ- 
ing a  saw  and  grist  mill;  the  aforesaid  Rimel  died  intestate  and  without 
having  executed  the  title  .  .  .  now  said  Jacob  Hoyle,  administrator,  so 
far  as  authorized  ...  in  compliance  with  said  bond  ,  .  .  conveys 
...  to  said  George  a  part  of  the  tract  .  .  .  containing  51  acres." 
{Ibid.,  Bk.  18,  p.  271.) 

On  record  in  the  Will  Books  of  Greene  county  is  the  following:  "Mch. 
2,  1841  An  instrument  of  writing  purporting  to  be  the  nuncupative  will  of 
Rebecca  Rimel,  dec'd,  was  produced  in  Court  for  probate  by  Jacob  Sea- 
ton  for  himself  and  Sally  Seaton  his  wife,  Betsy  Miller,  Polly  Bird,  John 
Williamson  and  Dorcas  his  wife,  by  which  it  appears  a  notice  had  been  is- 
sued to  Jacob  Rimel,  Isaac  Rimel,  John  Rimel,  George  Rimel,  John  Good, 
John  Fillers  and  Betsy  his  wife,  Asa  Bailey  and  DeUla  his  wife,  and  Jacob 
Good."    The  will  was  allowed  March  11,  1841,  and  is  as  follows: 

"We  Polly  Mock  and  Elisabeth  Broyls  do  state  the  nuncupative  Will  of 
Rebecca  Rimel  was  made  by  her  on  the  18th  day  of  September  1840  in  our 
presence,  to  which  we  are  especially  required  to  witness,  by  the  testator 
herself  in  the  presence  of  each  other,  that  it  was  made  in  her  last  sick- 
ness in  Alexander  Broyls  house  where  she  was  five  weeks,  where  she  was 
surprised  by  sickness  and  breathes  no  more.  And  the  same  is  as  follows 
to  wit,  it  was  her  desire  that  her  effects  should  be  disposed  of  after  her 
decease  in  the  following  manner,  that  all  her  effects  to  be  equally  divided 
among  her  daughters-this  6th  October  1840. 

her 
"Elisabeth  X  Broyls

her 
"Polly  X  Mock"

The  witnesses  further  testified  that  her  reason  for  this  disposition  of 
her  effects  was  that  "  her  sons  had  got  their  share." 

From  the  foregoing  list  of  citations  for  the  probate  of  the  will,  and  from 
the  marriage  records  of  Greene  county,  a  list  of  children  has  been  made, 
it  having  been  assumed  that  John  Good,  Jacob  Good,  John  Fillers  and

Pa.,  and  is  there  buried  in  a  private  burial  ground,  now  the 
property  of  his  great-grandchildren,  John  and  Elizabeth  Canon. 
Sometime  between  1781,  when  his  name  appears  as  a  tax  payer 
in  Berks  county.  Pa.,  and  Jan.  4,  1787,  when  he  bought  a  lot 
of  land  in  Derry  township,  in  a  town  called  Fredericktown, 
Dauphin  county.  Pa.,  of  Peter  Friedly  and  wife,  he  removed 
from  Berks  county  to  Dauphin  county  and  remained  there 
until  about  1794,  in  which  year  on  May  17,  he  with  his  wife 
Mary,  being  described  as  of  Union  township  in  the  county  of 
Fayette,  yeoman,  sold  this  Fredericktown  property  to  Valentine 
Hummel  of  Derry  township,  innkeeper.  Meanwhile  on  Apr.  23, 
1791,  John  Harris,  gentleman,  of  Harrisburg,  Pa.,  sold  to  Mor- 
decai Lincoln,  innkeeper,  of  Hummelstown,  lot  Number  11  on 
Chestnut  street,  Harrisburg,  containing  about  one  quarter  of 
an  acre  and,  on  the  same  date,  Mordecai  and  Mary  Lincoln 
conveyed  this  property  "together  with  the  houses,  kitchens, 
barns,  stables  and  buildings"  to  George  Reddick.  The  property 
was  evidently  an  inn.  Mordecai  signed  his  own  name  but  his 
wife  signed  with  her  mark.  Fredericktown  is  now,  and  was 
evidently  then,  known  as  Hummelstown.  It  is  a  post-borough 
of  about  one  thousand  population,  about  nine  miles  east  of 
Harrisburg.  Whether  he  ever  lived  in  Harrisburg  is  uncertain, 
but  he  may  have  done  so  before  removing  to  Fayette  county, 
whither  he  was  accompanied  by  his  wife  Mary,  his  two  sons

Benjamin  and  John,  his  two  daughters  Nancy  and  Sarah,  and 
their  husbands  Jacob  Giger  and  John  Jones. 

"Four  miles  from  Uniontown,  in  what  is  now  North  Union 
township,  Lincoln  bought,  June  9,  1791,  a  tract  of  land,  called 
'Discord,'  from  Isaac  Pearce,  patentee.  It  contained  320J^ 
acres  and  allowance,  and  the  price  paid  was  £500.  (Fayette 
County  Deeds,  vol.  iii,  p.  138.)  In  addition  to  this  he  procured 
a  patent,  Aug.  23,  1791,  from  the  commonwealth  for  another 
tract  of  land,  called  'Union  Green'  containing  probably  200  or 
250  acres.  The  two  combined  comprised  all  or  nearly  all  the 
land  now  owned  and  occupied  by  John  and  Elizabeth  Canon, 
the  late  John  Jones  and  John  Hankins.  Lincoln  built  the  old 
part  of  the  house  in  which  his  great-granddaughter  EHzabeth 
Canon  now  lives." 

''He  was  sixty  years  of  age  when  he  settled  in  Fayette  county — 
a  tall,  strong,  vigorous,  large-boned,  angular  old  man,  having 
all  the  distinguishing  facial  and  physical  characteristics  of  the 
Lincoln  blood;  prominent  nose  and  ears  .  .  .  heavy,  over- 
hanging eyebrows  and  sturdy  chin.  He  was  prudent,  industrious, 
law-abiding,  and  notably  methodical  in  the  business  affairs  of 
every-day  life.  .  .  .  His  love  of  order  and  system  is  disclosed 
in  the  manner  in  which  he  kept  his  'Family  Book,'  which  is  still 
in  possession  of  the  Jones  family.  He  carefully  kept  accounts 
with  all  of  his  children,  and  made  everything  even  between  them 
in  his  will.  The  following  extract  from  his  book  enumerates 
the  number  and  value  of  the  articles  with  which  he  dowered 
his  daughter  Sarah  when  she  married  John  Jones:

It  is  said  that  Mr.  Lincoln  kept  a  store  in  early  life  and,  during 
the  Revolutionary  war  was  connected  with  the  commissary  or 
quartermaster  department  of  the  army.  He  was  evidently  an 
innkeeper  at  Fredericktown,  and  perhaps  continued  in  that 
business  at  Uniontown. 

He  married,  in  1755,  in  Berks  county,  Mary  Webb  (or  Ward?), 
whose  parentage  and  birth  have  not  been  learned.  She  was  possi- 
bly daughter  of  John  and  Mary  (Boone)  Webb,  see  ''The  Ances- 
try of  Abraham  Lincoln,"  p.  101,  but  some  think  her  name  was 
Ward  not  Webb.  She  died  March,  1814,  at  North  Union,  Pa., 
aged  81  years,  after  being  an  invalid  for  the  last  thirty  years  of 
her  life,  and  was  buried  by  the  side  of  her  husband  on  the  farm 
at  North  Union.  (The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  p.  74; 
N.  E.  Hist.  &  Gen.  Register,  vol.  xli,  p.  156;  The  Lincolns  of 
Fayette  County,  passim;  Old  Account  Book  of  Mordecai 
Lincoln.) 

Mr.  Lincoln  disposed  of  a  part  of  his  land  at  North  Union 
before  his  death,  selhng  170^  acres  to  his  son  Benjamin,  Oct. 
3,  1809,  for  £400  and  90^4  acres  to  his  son  Thomas,  Feb.'5,  1811, 
for  £200.  The  remainder  of  the  tract  he  left  by  will  to  his  grand- 
son, William  Jones,  whose  descendants  still  own  it.  Mordecai 
and  his  wife  Mary  had,  however,  conveyed  to  their  daughter, 
Sarah  Jones,  eighty-eight  acres  of  "Discord,"  Oct.  3,  1809,  for  a 
consideration  of  £200.  (Fayette  County  Deeds,  Book  F,  p.  314; 
Book  H,  pp.  244,  274.) 

The  gravestones  of  Mordecai  Lincoln  and  his  wife  at  North 
Union,  are  inscribed  as  follows : 

"Mordica  Lincoln  Sr  t  Died  t  March  A.  D.  1812  J  Aged 
82  Years" 

"Mary  t  Wife  of  J  Mordica  Lincoln  t  Died  t  March  A.  D. 
1814  t  Aged  81  years." 

In  the  same  yard  are  the  graves  of  their  daughter  Sarah  and 
i  her  husband  John  Jones,  and  their  granddaughter,  Mary  (Jones) 
Butler,  the  stones  being  inscribed  thus : 

"John  Jones  %  Died  t  May  A.  D.  1802  |  Aged  46  Years."

"Ann,"  but  her  father's  will  calls  her  Nancy.  Her  birth  is  given  by  Mr. 
Ritenour  as  Nov.  22,  1769,  but  all  other  authorities,  including  her  father's 
old  account  book,  which  notes  the  births  of  all  the  children,  say  1759. 
She  married,  probably  in  Berks  county,  Jacob  Giger,  and  she  and  her 
husband  accompanied  her  father  to  Fayette  county.  They  are  said  to 
have  removed  to  Ohio,  near  Chillicothe.

in  "The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,"  p.  74,  states  that  he  beUeves 
"this  child  (Hannah)  represents  the  mysterious  Hannaniah  whom  we  find 
in  Kentucky  in  May,  1785,  assisting  Abraham  Lincoln  and  his  son  Josiah 
in  the  survey  of  his  farm  in  Jefferson  County."  Further  investigation  by 
Mr.  Henry-Philip  Lincoln,  adahf  daa,  leaves  Uttle  doubt  that  Hannaniah 
was  the  eldest  son  of  Thomas  Lincoln,  adah,  which  confirms  the  claim  of 
Dr.  H.  E.  Robinson  as  stated  in  a  note  on  page  75  of  the  said  "Ancestry."

in  1756,  and  died  May,  1802,  at  Uniontown,  aged  46  years.  They  accom- 
panied her  father  to  Fayette  county,  John  Jones  being  one  of  the  wit- 
nesses to  the  deed  of  May  17,  1794,  by  which  Mr.  Lincoln  disposed  of  his 
Fredericktown  property.  Mr.  Jones  lived  in  North  Union  on  the  tract 
where  are  now  the  Youngstown  Coke  Works.

Mordecai  Lincoln  is  said  by  tradition  to  have  had  another  daughter, 
whose  name  is  thought  to  have  been  Deborah,  who  died  in  Berks  county, 
young  and  unmarried.  This  may  refer  to  Mordecai's  little  sister,  Deborah, 
who  died  at  AUentown,  N.  J.  See  adab.  The  dates  of  birth  of  Mordecai's 
children  are  taken  from  the  ''Family  Book"  previously  referred  to.  Only 
five  children  are  named,  and  a  grandson,  Thomas. 


adah.  Thomas,  son  of  Mordecai  {Mordecai,  Samuel)  and 
Mary  (Robeson)  Lincoln  of  Amity,  Pa.,  born  about  1732, 
probably  at  Amity;  died  1775,  probably  in  the  month  of 
May  as  administration  on  his  estate  was  granted,  June  16, 
1775,  to  his  mother,  Mary  Rogers,  his  widow  renouncing. 
A  deed  of  his  brother  Mordecai,  dated  March  29,  1773, 
which  mentions  ^'land  of  the  late  Thomas  Lincoln,  but  now 
Michael  Zeister's"  makes  it  appear  that  he  was  dead  at 
that  time,  but  an  indenture  of  ''Mary  Rogers  administratrix  of 
all  and  singular  the  goods  and  chattel  rights  and  credits  which 
were  of  Thomas  Lincoln  late  of  the  town  of  Reading  in  the 
county  of  Berks,  yeoman,  deceased,  at  the  time  of  his  death, 
who  died  intestate"  makes  the  following  statement,  by  which 
it, clearly  appears  that  he  was  living  a  year  later:  ''whereas  the 
said  Mary  Rogers  by  Indenture  dated  May  4th  1774,  did  grant 
etc.  to  Thomas  Lincoln  (in  his  life  time)."  Mordecai's  deed 
should  probably  read  "land  late  of  Thomas  Lincoln"  and  was 
perhaps  wrongly  copied  into  the  records.  Thomas  inherited 
from  his  father  one  third  of  the  latter's  lands  in  Amity  or  some- 
thing over  three  hundred  acres.  This  tract  Thomas  and  his 
wife  Ehzabeth  sold,  Nov.  4,  1760,  to  Michael  Zeister.  (Reading 
Deeds,  Bk.  2,  f.  175.)  He  had  probably  removed  before  that 
date  to  Reading,  Pa.,  as  he  was  taxed  in  Reading  in  1759.  He 
was  elected  sheriff  of  Berks  county,  Oct.  2,  1758,  being  the  third 
to  hold  that  office,  but  he  does  not  appear  to  have  been  re-elected. 
According  to  "The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln"  he  was  in 
1758  representative  for  Berks  county  in  the  Pennsylvania 
General  Assembly,  but  this  has  not  been  confirmed. 

He  married  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Thomas  and  Mary  Davis, 
born  Sept.  1,  1729.    She  survived  her  husband,  but  the  date  of 


110  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

her  death  has  not  been  learned.  (Memorials  of  the  Walkers,  p. 
101.  The  will  of  Mary  Davis,  widow,  dated  Apr.  1,  1763,  names 
her  ''daughter  Elizabeth  Lincoln.")  Thomas  Lincoln's  mother, 
Mary  Rogers,  as  his  administratrix,  in  a  petition  in  Orphans' 
Court,  June  10,  1775,  recites,  that  all  his  children  were  minors 
and  seized  of  messuage  and  lands  in  Exeter  ''adjoining  lands  of 
Mordecai  Lincoln"  their  uncle.  (The  Ancestry  of  Abraham 
Lincoln,  pp.  75,  183-4;  Abraham  Lincoln,  An  American  Migra-

Exeter  (Friday  at  7.15  a.  m.).  The  somewhat  full  information  of 
this  family  has  been  obtained,  largely,  from  the  old  ''Account 
Book"  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  first  kept  by  him  and  continued  by 
later  members  of  the  family.  It  was  recently,  and  perhaps  is  ;j 
now,  in  the  possession  of  Harrison-Gilbert  Lincoln,  adaii  be,  but 
it  was  copied  some  years  ago  by  Henry-Philip  Lincoln,  adahd 
daa,  who  distributed  blue  prints  of  it  to  members  of  the 
family. 

*William  and  Samuel  Sharon  were  brothers,  sons  of  Samuel  Sharon  of  Fayette  township. 
Samuel  was  born  Feb.  23,  1785,  and  died  about  18G2.  William  was  born  March  2, 1792.  His 
son,  William  W. ,  was  living,  1886,  at  McAUisterville  as  was  Mrs.  Mary  S.  Adams. 


FOURTH    GENERATION  111 

Mr.  Lincoln  inherited  from  his  father  one  third,  or  about  three 
hundred  acres,  of  the  Amity  farm  and  probably  lived  there  all  his 
life.  He  ran  a  sawmill,  which  stood  on  the  race  running  through 
his  land  and  his  brother  Mordecai's,  as  early  as  1758  and  con- 
tinued to  do  so  until  into  the  seventies.  He  became  a  man  of 
considerable  importance,  being  elected  county  commissioner  in 
October,  1772,  in  which  office  he  continued  until  1779.  In  1771 
he  was  supervisor  of  roads  and  appears  as  sub-lieutenant  in 
Berks  county,  March  21,  1777.  From  1782  to  1785  he  was  repre- 
sentative in  the  General  Assembly  and  served  on  the  important 
committee  of  grievances.  He  was  a  member  of  the  State  conven- 
tion of  1787  and  of  the  constitutional  convention  of  1789-90. 
After  the  close  of  the  Revolution  he  was  selected  to  make  the 
address  to  Washington  at  Philadelphia. 

'  He  married,  July  10, 1760,  at  Exeter,  Anne^,  daughter  of  James^ 
{George^)  and  Mary  (Foulke)  Boone  of  Oley,  Pa.,  born  Apr.  3, 
1737,  0.  S.,  at  Oley  (Sunday,  5  p.m.);  died  Apr.  4,  1807,  at  Exeter 
(Saturday,  2.10  p.  m.).  She  and  her  husband  are  buried  at  Exeter. 
Her  marriage  was  ''out  of  meeting,"  for  which  ''disorderly  act" 
she  was  disciplined  by  Exeter  Monthly  Meeting  and  she  acknowl- 
edged her  error  Aug.  27,  1761.  Anne  Boone  was  own  cousin  of 
Daniel  Boone,  the  Kentucky  pioneer.  Her  father  and  her  uncle 
John  Boone  were  the  only  surviving  members  of  the  Boone 
family  who  remained  in  Pennsylvania.  (The  Ancestry  of 
Abraham  Lincoln,  pp.  75-6,  102-3,  174-6;  Abraham  Lincoln, 
An  American  Migration,  pp.  80-99.) 

By  the  census  of  1790  Abraham  had  in  his  family  three  free 
white  males  sixteen  years  old  and  upwards;  two  under  sixteen; 
and  five  free  white  females.  This  accounts  for  himself  and  wife, 
four  sons  and  four  daughters,  showing  that  one  of  his  daughters, 
besides  Rachel,  had  died  before  1790  or  else  was  married  and 

I  had  left  home.  The  natural  supposition  is  that  Anna  had  died 
before  the  birth  of  her  sister  Ann,  in  spite  of  family  tradition. 

Both  Abraham  and  his  wife  died  intestate  and  administration 
was  granted  to  their  sons  Mordecai  and  Thomas,  on  the  estate 
of  the  former,  Feb.  17,  1806,  and  on  that  of  the  latter,  Feb.  25, 
1808.  (Berks  County  Wills,  with  Hist.  Society  of  Penn.)  For 
a  more  extended  sketch  of  Abraham  see  Penn.  Magazine,  vol. 
xi,  pp.  220-1.

himself  and  his  brother  Jacob  and  wife  Anne,  by  which  they 
conveyed  title  to  land  in  Springfield  township,  ''which  Abraham 
Lincoln  y^  farther  of  y^  s^  Abraham  and  Jacob  Parties  hereto  by 
his  Last  Will  and  Testament  of  the  15th  Day  of  April  1745 
Devised  unto  this  s^  son  Jacob  in  ffee."  In  this  document 
Abraham  is  described  as  *'of  the  City  of  Philadelphia,  Cord- 
wainer,"  in  which  terms  he  is  also  described  in  a  deed  dated 
May  1,  1744,  by  which  he  purchased  a  piece  of  ground  on  the 
north  side  of  Jones'  alley  in  Philadelphia,  measuring  thirty-three 
feet,  seven  inches  front  by  thirty  feet  depth,  on  which  he  agreed, 
''within  the  space  of  two  years  next  ensuing  the  date  hereof," 
to  erect  ''one  good  tenantable  dwelling  house  of  brick  or  stone, 
two  stories  high  above  ground  with  a  cellar  under  the  same." 
It  is  probable  that  he  was  married  at  about  this  time  and  intended 
this  house  for  his  own  residence.  He  made  his  will  Feb.  17,  1747, 
and  probably  died  that  year  or  the  next.  The  will  itself  has  dis- 
appeared from  the  Philadelphia  registry  but  is  referred  to  in  a 
Deed,  dated  Apr.  13,  1772,  given  by  his  son-in-law  James  Carter 
and  Rebecca  his  wife,  by  which  they  convey  land  in  Springfield 
township.  This  Deed  recites  the  title  from  Robert  Taylor  down 
to  Abraham  Lincoln,  Sr.,  and  that  part  of  the  will  of  the  latter 
which  gives  a  part  of  the  land  to  his  son  John,  with  the  proviso 
that  if  John  died  in  his  minority  the  land  should  go  to  his  brother 
Abraham,  which  was  the  case.  The  Deed  further  recites  that 
Abraham  Lincoln,  Jr.,  made  his  will  in  which  he  says:  "Item, 
I  give  my  soul  into  [sic]  Almighty  God  and  my  body  to  be  De- 
cently Buried  and  after  my  Just  Debts  and  Funeral  Expences 
be  Paid  then  it  is  my  Will  and  Desire  that  my  Plantation  be 
Equally  Devided  between  my  two  Children  when  they  Come 
to  age  Rebecca  Lincon  and  Hester  Lincon  .  .  .  as  by  the  Same 
Will  remaining  in  the  register  General's  Office  at  Philadelphia 
Dated  February  the  seventeenth  One  Thousand  Seven  Hundred 
and  forty  Seven,  Recourse  being  thereunto  had  may  appear."

Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  pp.  67,  179-80;  Chester  County 
Deeds,  vol.  x,  p.  114.) 

Just  one  year  after  his  purchase  of  the  estate  on  Jones'  alley 
Abraham  sold  one  half  of  it  to  his  brother  Isaac,  with  the  proviso 
that  the  well  and  necessary  house  should  be  used  by  both  parties.

In  this  deed  he  was  joined  by  his  wife  Esther,  who  made  her 
mark.     (Philadelphia  Deeds,  Bk.  A.  M.  39,  p.  234.) 

The  date  of  Abraham's  marriage  has  not  been  learned,  but 
that  his  wife  was  Esther  Hilton,  sister  of  Elizabeth  Hilton  who 
married  Joseph  Rush  as  his  second  wife,  his  first  wife  having  been 
Abraham's  sister  Rebecca,  is  evident  from  her  will  as  will  appear 
later.  ''The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,"  p.  67,  too  hastily 
assumes  that  her  name  was  Anne  and  that  she  had  three  children, 
because  the  baptismal  register  of  Kingsessing  Swedes'  Church, 
Philadelphia,  says  that  "Anna  Linckhorn  born  8  August,  bapt. 
23  September  1753,  was  daughter  of  Abram  and  Ann  Linckhorn," 
overlooking  the  fact  that  all  the  evidence  goes  to  prove  that 
''Abram"  is  a  clerical  error  for  Jacob. 

Mrs.  Esther  Lincoln  married  (2),  by  license  issued  at  Phila- 
delphia, Feb.  2,  1748-9,  Patrick  Tommins  (Tonin  or  Truin)  who 
died  before  her  and  by  whom  she  probably  had  no  children. 
(Penn.  Magazine  of  Hist.  &  Biog.,  vol.  xxxii,  p.  486.)  Her  will, 
dated  Aug.  16,  1799,  calls  her  Hester  Tommins  of  Philadelphia, 
widow,  and  names:  "sister  Elizabeth  Rush,  son  in  law  and 
executor  James  Carter;  granddaughters  Hester  Parry  and 
Elizabeth  Carter";  also  ^^Mary  Alerton"  and  ''Rebecca  Lincon." 
(From  Abstracts  of  Wills  with  the  Hist.  Society  of  Penn.) 

Children,  born  at  Philadelphia: 

adbaa.  Rebecca,  born  probably  about  1745,  and  died  between  Apr.  13, 1772, 
when  she  gave  a  deed  with  her  husband  of  land  in  Springfield  inherited 
from  her  father,  and  July  22,  1793,  the  date  of  her  husband's  will.  She 
married,  March  7,  1763,  Ucensed  Feb.  15,  at  First  Baptist  Church,  Philadel- 
phia, James  Carter,  who  died  in  August,  1795.  His  will,  dated  July  22, 
1793,  proved  Aug.  15,  1795;  calls  him  of  Abington,  gentleman,  and 
names :  eldest  daughter  Hester,  wife  of  Roland  Parry,  younger  daughter 
Elizabeth  Carter,  sister  Sarah  Ferrill,  grandson'  Carter  Parry,  and  brother 
WilHam.  (Philadelphia  Registry,  Bk.  X,  f .  313;  The  Ancestry  of  Abraham 
Lincoln,  pp.  67,  169,  171.) 

Children: 

a.  Hester,  mar.  Roland  Parry. 

b.  Elizabeth,  mar.  Ebenezer  Hockling,  Feb.  1,  1796,  at  First 
Baptist  Church,  Philadelphia.  The  date  seems  to  show  that 
the  date  ascribed  to  Mrs.  Tommins's  will  must  be  the  date  of  its 
probate  and  not  of  its  making. 

adbab.  Hester,  died  before  1772,  probably  unmarried  and  certainly  with- 
out children. 

adbb.  Isaac,  son  of  Abraham  {Mordecai,  Samuel)  and 
Rebecca  Lincoln  of  Springfield,  Pa.,  born  in  Monmouth  county, 


•      FOURTH   GENERATION  115 

New  Jersey;  died  between  Aug.  7, 1759,  and  July  7, 1772,  probably 
at  Philadelphia.  The  first  mention  that  has  been  found  of  him  is 
on  May  1,  1745,  when  his  brother  Abraham  conveyed  to  him  a 
part  of  his  estate  on  Jones'  Alley,  Philadelphia,  describing  him 
as  **a  carpenter  of  Philadelphia."  This  estate  he  and  his  wife 
Mary  sold  Feb.  23,  1747,  and  he  was  then  described  as  a  ''house 
carpenter."  He  inherited  from  his  father  a  piece  of  real  estate 
on  Elbow  Lane  in  Philadelphia,  conditional  upon  the  continued 
absence  of  his  brother,  Mordecai,  for  seven  years  after  the  death 
of  his  father,  which  occurred  in  April,  1745.  Mordecai  did  not 
return  to  Pennsylvania,  and  Feb.  14,  1754,  Isaac  and  his  wife 
conveyed  this  estate  to  George  Westcott,  being  still  described 
as  ''of  Philadelphia,  carpenter."  A  few  years  later  he  seems  to 
have  removed  to  the  "Northern  Liberties"  and  to  have  had 
financial  reverses,  as  in  the  Pennsylvania  Gazette  of  March  16, 
1758,  sheriff  James  Coultas  advertised  for  "sale  by  publick 
Vendue,  a  commodious  Brick  Messuage  or  Tenement,  with  a 
Kitchen  and  Piazza  and  lot  of  Ground,  situate  in  the  Northern 

Liberties,  containing  at  front  on Street  20  Feet  and  in 

Depth  84  Feet,  subject  to  a  Ground-rent  of  Forty  ShilHngs  per 
annum;  late  the  Estate  of  Isaac  Lincoln,  seized  and  taken  in 
Execution."  The  next  year,  Aug.  7,  1759,  he  and  his  wife  Mary, 
"of  Philadelphia,  carpenter,"  conveyed  to  Joseph  Wharton  of 
Wicaco,  an  estate  on  Cedar  street,  Philadelphia.  (Philadelphia 
Deeds,  vols.  A.  M.  39,  p.  234;  G.  9,  p.  182;  A.  M.  60,  p.  607; 
J.  9,  p.  408.) 

He  married,  Dec.  31,  1746,  at  Philadelphia  (Records  of  Christ 
Church),  Mary  Shute,  whose  parentage,  birth  and  death  have 
not  been  learned.  It  is  supposed  that  they  had  no  children  as  no 
evidence  of  any  has  been  found.  Mrs.  Lincoln  married  (2), 
July  2,  1772,  at  Arch  Street  Meeting,  Philadelphia,  Ebenezer 
Robinson,  a  bricklayer  of  Philadelphia.  She  was  evidently  a 
Quaker  and  among  the  witnesses  to  the  marriage  were  Mary, 
Thomas  and  Rebecca  Shute,  who  were  probably  brother  and 
sisters  of  Mrs.  Lincoln,  and  Sarah  and  Samuel  Pastorius,  sister 
and  brother-in-law  of  Isaac  Lincoln.  (Records  of  Arch  Street 
Meeting;  see  also  The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  pp.  67,

adbc.  Jacob,  son  of  Abraham  {Mordecai,  Samuel)  and 
Rebecca  Lincoln  of  Springfield,  Pa.,  born  1725,  in  Monmouth 
county,  New  Jersey;  died  June  5,  1769,  at  Kingsessing,  now  a 
part  of  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  aged  44  years.  He  lived  at  Kingsessing 
and  was  a  scythe  maker,  being  so  described  in  the  deed  mentioned 
under  his  brother,  Abraham,  by  which  he  and  his  wife  Anne, 
with  his  brother  Abraham,  mortgaged  the  farm  in  Springfield 
township  which  he  had  inherited  from  his  father,  the  date  of  the 
deed  being  Sept.  14,  1747.  Jacob  Lincoln  died  intestate  and  his 
widow,  Ann,  renounced  administration  in  favor  of  Philip  Price, 
July  1,1769.  (PhiladelphiaRegistry,  vol.  H,  p.  63.)  Philip  Price 
of  Kingsessing,  in  his  account  book  dated  12-15,  1787,  mentions 
Rebecca  Linkhorn  and  her  sister  Ann  Bowman  and  frequently 
mentions  Jacob  Linkhorn,  these  being  children  of  Jacob,  Senior. 
(Records  of  Gilbert  Cope,  Westchester,  Pa.) 

He  married,  June,  1747,  at  Old  Swedes  Church,  Kingsessing, 
Anne^,  daughter  of  Mounce^  {Gaumer^,  Peter^)  and  Catharine 
(Boon)  Rambo  of  Kingsessing,  born  1728;  died  Feb.  8,  1819,  at 
Kingsessing,  aged  91  years.*  Jacob  and  Anne  Lincoln  are  both 
buried  in  the  burying  ground  at  the  Old  Swedes  Church,  their 
gravestones  being  thus  inscribed:  *'In  J  memory  of  J  Jacob 
Lincoln  %  who  departed  this  life  J  June  5th  1769  J  Aged  44

life  t  February  8th  1819  J  Aged  91  years  t  wife  of  Jacob 
Lincoln." 

Mounce  (Swedish  for  Moses)  Rambo  in  his  will,  dated  Apr.  5, 
1760,  says:  "I  give  to  my  daughter  Ann  the  wife  of  Jacob  Linn- 
con  the  sum  Twenty  Pounds  of  Lawful  Money  of  Pennsylv^. 
Item.  I  give  to  my  Grandson  Abraham  Lincon  y^  sum  of  Twenty

Katharine  Rambo  of  Kingsessing,  widow  of  Mounce,  in  her 
Will  dated  March  23,  1761,  mentions  her  daughter  Ann  but  not 

♦Mounce  Rambo's  father,  Gaumer  Rambo,  married  Anna,  daughter  of  Peter  Koch  and  died 
in  1723.  His  father  Peter  Rambo  was  born  1609  in  Sweden  and  died  in  1698  in  Pennsylvania. 
His  father  was  named  Gaumer.  Catharine  Boon  was  daughter  of  Swan  Boon  and  Brigitta

Jacob  and  Anne  Lincoln  had  eight  children,  the  baptisms  of 
six  of  them  being  recorded  at  the  Old  Swedes  Church,  though 
Anna  is  erroneously  called  the  daughter  of  Abram  and  Ann. 
The  following  entry  from  Orphans'  Court  of  Philadelphia,  Docket 
No.  27,  pp.  479,  500,  proves  their  other  two  children,  Abraham 
and  Moses :  The  petition  of  Abraham,  EHzabeth  and  Mary  Lin- 
coln, dated  March  28,  1821,  says  they  are  children  of  Abraham 
eldest  son  of  Jacob,  that  Ann  widow  of  Jacob  was  then  deceased, 
and  that  the  issue  of  Jacob  and  Ann  were  six  children  to  wit: 
Abraham,  Moses,  Rebecca  (now  Rebecca  Bravard  widow), 
Mary  (now  wife  of  Benj.  Evans),  and  Jacob.  It  will  be  noticed 
that  only  five  children  are  named  in  the  docket;  John  and 
Catharine  were  dead  and  perhaps  Anna  also. 

June  10,  1754,  Jacob  Lincoln  of  Kingsessing,  scythemaker, 
and  Ann  his  wife  conveyed  4  acres  and  28  perches  of  land  in 
Kingsessing  on  the  road  from  Darby  to  Philadelphia,  to  John 
Towers,  being  part  of  the  land  conveyed  to  said  Jacob,  March  11, 
1752,  by  Robert  Barnard.  (Philadelphia  Registry,  vol.  I,  10, 
p.  126.)    Jacob  Lincoln  was  constable  in  Lower  Darby  in  1749.

adbcc.  Anna,  born  Aug.  8,  bapt.  Sept.  23,  1753;  died  probably  before  1821, 
and  certainly  before  Sept.  3,  1832,  the  date  of  her  sister  Rebecca's  will. 
She  married,  before  1787,  a  Mr.  Bowman  or  Boughman  and  is  the  Ann 
Bowman,  sister  of  Rebecca  Lincoln,  mentioned  by  Philip  Price  in  his 
Account  Book.  Two  of  her  children  are  named  in  her  sister  Rebecca's  will, 
and  the  following  inscription  on  a  gravestone  in  Old  Swedes  Cemetery, 
Kingsessing,  may  refer  to  a  third:  " In  t  Memory  of  J  Isaac  Boughman  t 
who  died  March  24th  1 1813  t  in  the  30th  year  of  his  t  age."

adbce.  Rebecca,  born  Dec.  11, 1757,  bapt.  March  27, 1758;  died,  probably  in 
May,  1834,  at  Philadelphia,  her  will  being  proved  May  14,  1834.  She 
married,  May  16,  1801,  in  the  Third  Presbyterian  Church,  Philadelphia, 
Ebenezer  Bravard,  whose  parentage  and  birth  have  not  been  learned,  but

Houses,  privately  on  account  of  illness,  Oct.  13,  1771.  (Cromwell 
Church  Records.)  When  his  father  made  his  will  in  1745,  he 
was  absent  from  Pennsylvania  and  had  not  returned  on  the 
fourteenth  of  February,  1754,  on  which  date  his  brother  Isaac 
conveyed  the  real  estate  on  Elbow  Lane,  Philadelphia,  which 
had  been  bequeathed  to  Mordecai  by  his  father,  conditional 
upon  his  return  to  Pennsylvania  within  seven  years  of  his  father's 
|i  decease,  which  occurred  the  last  of  April,  1745.  Isaac's  convey- 
ance states  'Hhe  said  Mordecai  did  not  return  into  the  said 
Province  within  the  term  aforesaid  limited  nor  at  any  time 
since  So  that  the  estate  in  the  premises  is  vested  in  the  said 
Isaac  Lincon."  (Abraham  Lincoln,  An  American  Migration, 
p.  64.)  Mordecai's  fate  was  long  unknown,  but  there  can  be 
no  doubt  that  he  went  to  his  relatives  in  Massachusetts,  settled 
first  at  Taunton  and  removed  after  his  marriage,  probably  about 
1765,  to  Middletown  Upper  Houses.  The  age  on  the  gravestone 
of  that  Mordecai  corresponds  exactly  with  that  of  Abraham's 
son,  and  there  is  no  other  Mordecai  yet  found,  to  whom  it  could 
apply.  It  furnishes  additional  evidence  of  the  Massachusetts 
origin  of  the  two  brothers,  Mordecai  and  Abraham  Lincoln. 
We  know  from  his  marriage  record  that  he  was  living  at  Taunton 
in  1758,  but  his  occupation  while  there  has  not  been  learned. 
He  was  living  at  Middletown  Upper  Houses  Feb.  24,  1765,  as 
his  oldest  child  was  baptized  there  on  that  date  and,  on  Nov. 
27,  1766,  he  purchased  of  Reuben  Plum  of  Middletown  and 
Mary  his  wife  "for  seventy  five  dollars  lawful  money  .  .  . 
land  on  the  west  side  of  the  Great  River  in  said  Middletown 
in  the  North  Parish,  at  a  Place  Called  the  Pines,  Containing 
about  Thirty  acres  .  .  .  bounded  .  .  .  Easterly  on  a  Lamas 
Highway  or  on  Land  belonging  to  John  Gipson,  WilKam  Strick- 
land and  Elijah  Miller,  Westerly  on  Land  belonging  to  the 
Heirs  of  Edward  Shepard  Dec^,  Northerly  on  Weathersfield 
Line  or  Bounds,  Southerly  on  a  Highway."  (Middletown  Land 
Records,  vol.  xxi,  p.  13.)  In  this  deed  he  is  described  as  ''now 
.  )f  Middletown." 

He  married,  Nov.  30,  1758,  at  Scituate,  Mass.,  Abiah^,  daugh- 
er  of  John^  (Nathaniel,  Samuel^)  and  Abiah  (Waterman)  Eels 
)f  Scituate,  born  about  1737,  at  Scituate;  died  May  15,  1817, 
it  Middletown   Upper  Houses,   aged   80  years.     Neither  her 


120  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

birth  nor  baptism  is  included  among  those  of  the  other  children 
of  John  Eels  in  Scituate  records,  but  that  she  was  his  daughter 
is  proved  by  a  deed  recorded  in  the  Plymouth  County  Registry 
of  Deeds,  vol.  liii,  f.  2G,  by  which:  ''Oct.  30,  1760,  Mordecai 
Lincoln  of  Taunton,  labourer,  and  Abiah  his  wife  conveyed  to 
Nehemiah  Porter  of  Scituate  one  ninth  of  eighteen  acres,  set 
off  to  the  heirs  of  John  Eels  of  Scituate  deceased,  in  the  division 
of  the  real  estate  of  Rev.  Nathaniel  Eels."  From  this  it  appears 
that  John  Eels  left  nine  heirs.  The  baptisms  of  eight  children 
are  recorded  as  follows:  Waterman,  1732;  Hannah,  1734;  John, 
1738;  Lusanna,  1742;  Sarah,  1743;  Lenthall,  1745;  Joseph,  1747; 
Abigail,  1750.  Abiah,  born  in  1736  or  '37,  was  apparently 
baptized,  for  some  reason,  elsewhere  than  at  Scituate.  It  could 
not  have  been  the  widow  who  married  Mordecai,  as  she  would 
have  inherited  one  third  of  the  real  estate  of  her  husband. 

Abiah  married  (2),  May  8,  1777,  at  Middletown,  Daniel,  son 
of  William  and  Sarah  (Savage)  Savage  of  Middletown,  born 
Oct.  11,  1742,  at  Middletown  and  died  there  Jan.  17,  1812. 
His  first  wife  was  Martha  Norton,  whom  he  married  Sept.  8, 
1774,  and  by  whom  he  had  no  children.  She  died  Feb.  28,  1776, 
at  Middletown.  Abiah  had  two  children  by  her  second  husband: 
Daniel,  born  July  26,  1778;  and  Abiah,  born  Aug.  11,  1780. 

Mordecai  Lincoln,  his  wife  Abiah  and  her  second  husband, 
Daniel  Savage,  are  all  buried  in  the  old  cemetery  at  Cromwell. 
Their  gravestones  read  as  follows: 

''In  Memory  of  J  M'^  Mordica  Linkton  J  who  Departed  this 
t  Life  Nov'  30'^  J  AD   1772  J  in  the  39'^  Year  J  of  his  Age." 

"In  J  Memory  of  t  Abiah  Savage  J  wife  of  J  Daniel  Savage

"In  Memory  of  J  Daniel  Savage  J  who  departed  this  life 
t  Jan  17'^  1812  J  in  the  70'^  year  J  of  his  age." 

The  will  of  Mordecai  Lincoln,  dated  Oct.  11,  1771,  probated 
Jan.  6,  1772,  describes  him  as  of  Middletown  and  names:  wife 
Abiah;  sons  William  and  Joseph- Waterman;  daughter  Hannah; 
and  makes  his  wife  executrix.  The  inventory  of  his  estate  shows 
£75  real;  £59:15:5  personal.  (Middletown  Probate  Records,

adca.  Isaac,  son  of  Isaac  (Mordecai,  Samuel)  and  Sarah 
(Cummings)  Lincoln  of  Hingham,  Mass.,  born  Aug.  5,  1717,  at 
Hingham,  second  precinct;  died  March  1, 1776, at Cohasset,  Mass., 
where  he  had  passed  his  whole  life.  He  was  a  farmer  and  lived 
on  South  Main  street,  in  a  house  which  he  built  in  1740  a  little 
north  of  his  father's.  He  was  one  of  the  active  and  public 
spirited  citizens  of  the  second  precinct  of  Hingham  and,  as  he 
bore  the  brunt  of  the  work  for  the  separation  of  the  precinct 
from  Hingham,  he  is  sometimes  called  ''the  father  of  the  town." 
He  was  for  twenty  years  deacon  of  the  Cohasset  church  and 
was  often  engaged  in  town  affairs.  He  was  constable  in  1747, 
selectman  in  1753,  and  after  the  separation,  from  1770  to  1775. 
He  was  first  moderator  of  the  town  of  Cohasset  in  1770  and 
again  in  1774  and  1775;  town  clerk  in  1771  and  1772;  on  the 
committee  of  inspection  in  1774;  and  a  member  of  the  com- 
mittee of  correspondence  in  1775.  In  1771  his  real  estate  was 
assessed  for  taxation  for  £297:0:0. 

He  married  (1),  Dec.  24,  1741,  at  Hingham,  Ruth^,  daughter 
of  Lazarus^  (Lazarus^,  Jeremiah'^,  Joh'n})  and  Ruth  (Andrews) 
Beal  of  Hingham,  born  March  10,  1722,  at  Hingham,  second 
precinct;  died  March  6,  1763,  at  Hingham. 

He  married  (2),  Oct.  7,  1764,  at  Hingham,  Mrs.  Sarah^  (Ho- 
bart)  Lincoln,  daughter  of  Rev.  Nehemiah^  {Davi(P,  Peter^, 
Edmund^)  and  Lydia  (Jacob)  Hobart  of  Hingham,  and  widow  of 
Francis  Lincoln,  ahhe.  She  was  born  July  2,  1727,  at  Hingham 
and  died  Oct.  11,  1815,  at  Cohasset.  Mr.  Lincoln  and  both 
his  wives,  and  several  of  his  children,  are  buried  in  Central 
burying  ground,  Cohasset,  where  his  gravestone  erroneously 
calls  him  at  death  "aged  52  years.''  (Hist  of  Hingham,  vol. 
ii,  p.  468;  Cohasset  Genealogies,  pp.  234,  495;  History  of  Cohasset, 
passim;  Cohasset  Records.) 

April  1,  1776,  Uriah  Lincoln  was  admitted  administrator  on 
estate  of  Isaac  Lincoln,  late  of  Cohasset,  deceased,  intestate. 
The  estate  was  appraised  at  £251:9:8  personal;  £1164:10:2  real, 
June  1,  1776,  but  it  was  not  until  Apr.  14,  1795,  that  decree  was

issued  to  divide  the  estate  among  the  heirs,  viz.,  to  widow  her 
dower;  to  eldest  son  a  double  share;  to  rest  of  the  children  a  single 
share;  and  the  estate  was  divided  among  Sarah  Lincoln,  widow; 
Uriah  Lincoln,  eldest  son;  James  Lincoln,  Cummings  Lincoln; 
Sarah,  wife  of  Abraham  Lincoln;  Ruth,  wife  of  James  Jenkins;

his  birth. 


adcb.  MoRDECAi,  son  of  Isaac  {Mordecai,  Samuel)  and 
Sarah  (Cummings)  Lincoln  of  Hingham,  Mass,,  born  Feb.  9, 
1718-19,  in  the  second  precinct  of  Hingham,  now  Cohasset; 
died  March  29,  1809,  at  Cohasset.  He  was  buried  in  Central 
burying  ground,  and  his  gravestone  says  he  died  March  29,  1808, 
aged  91  years.  He  lived  on  South  Main  street,  Cohasset,  in  a 
house  which  he  built  about  1745  and  which  was  taken  down  in 
1826,  when  the  WalKs  house  was  built.  He  is  called  a  ''farmer, " 
and  in  1749  he  was  taxed  on  one  half  a  house,  one  half  acre  of 


124  LINCOLN   GENEALOGY 

orchard,  two  acres  of  tillage,  two  of  mowing,  and  sixteen  of 
pasture;  one  horse,  three  cows  and  seven  sheep.  In  1771  his 
real  estate  was  assessed  at  £92:8:0  so  that  his  farming  must 
have  occupied  but  a  portion  of  his  time,  and  in  1781  he  sold  his 
pasture  land  at  "the  S.  W.  end  of  the  lot  of  land  whereon  my 
Dwelling  House  stands"  to  Caleb  Lincoln  of  Scituate,  adfg. 
In  this  deed  his  wife  is  called  ''Marget  Lincoln."  (Suffolk 
County  Deeds,  vol.  clxi,  f.  272.) 

He  married,  Nov.  27,  1746,  at  Scituate  (Scituate  Records), 
Margaret  Caldwell  or  Calwell,  of  whose  parentage  nothing 
has  been  learned.  She  is  called  Mary  Calwell  in  the  intentions 
of  marriage  and  Margarett  Caldwell  in  the  marriage  record. 
The  name  is  otherwise  unknown  in  the  records  of  Scituate  and 
Hingham.  She  died  March  19,  1801,  at  Cohasset,  aged  72  years 
according  to  her  gravestone  in  Central  burying  ground.  This 
would  make  her  born  about  1728.  The  Church  records,  however, 
call  her  aged  ''77  years."  Margret,  daughter  of  James  and 
Abigail  Colman,  was  born  Oct.  30,  1728,  at  Scituate.  There  is 
no  record  of  her  death  or  marriage  and  it  is  barely  possible  that 
she  is  the  Margaret  Calwell  who  married  Mordecai  Lincoln.

George^)  Sutton  of  Scituate,  born  1749,  bapt.  Aug.  20,  1758,  at  Scituate; 
died  Nov.  3,  1826,  at  Cohasset,  but  their  gravestones  in  Central  burying 
ground  say  that  she  died  Dec.  30,  1793,  and  that  he  died  Nov.  2,  1826, 
aged  77  years.  He  was  a  "master-mariner"  and  lived  on  South  Main 
street,  corner  of  Beechwood  street,  Cohasset.  He  served  as  private  in 
Capt.  Job  Cushing's  Company  from  May  to  Aug.  1,  1775.  In  1784  he 
was  captain  of  the  "  Beckey,"  a  schooner  of  fifty-four  tons  built  at  Scituate, 
but  in  1795,  though  he  was  her  owner,  he  no  longer  sailed  her.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  school  committee  in  1784.  He  married  (2),  Nov.  8,  1795, 
at  Cohasset,  Mrs.  Alice  (Stephenson)  Cole,  daughter  of  Luther  and 
Lucy  (Beal)  Stephenson  of  Cohasset  and  widow  of  Enoch  Cole  of  Scitu- 
ate, by  whom  she  had  two  children.  She  was  bapt.  Apr.  10,  1768,  at 
Cohasset  and  died  May  29,  1860,  at  Cohasset.  As  she  had  six  children 
by  Mr.  Sutton,  he  had  finally  fourteen  children  in  his  family.  (Cohasset 
Genealogies,  p.  422;  Cohasset  Records;  Scituate  Records.)

Thomas^,  Joh'n})  and  Mary  (Orcutt)  Humphrey  of  Hingham,  second 
precinct,  born  Apr.  25,  1753,  at  Hingham;  died  before  July  13,  1783, 
the  date  of  baptism  of  his  posthumous  child.  He  was  a  private  in  Capt. 
Job  Cushing's  Company,  which  was  in  service  from  May  to  Aug.  1, 
1775.  He  was  a  mariner  and  lived  at  Cohasset.  Boston,  Aug.  4,  1784, 
Sally  Humphries  of  Cohasset,  widow,  was  appointed  administratrix 
on  the  estate  of  George  Humphreys,  late  of  Cohasset,  mariner,  deceased 
intestate.  (Suffolk  County  Probate  Records,  vol.  Ixxxiii,  p.  812.)  She 
married  (2),  Sept.  13,  1789,  at  Cohasset,  Peter  Humphrey,  brother  of 
her  first  husband,  born  Oct.  6,  1759,  at  Hingham;  died  Nov.  4,  1793, 
at  Cohasset.  His  first  wife  was  Mary,  daughter  of  Samuel  and  Mercy 
(Beal)  Bates,  whom  he  married  Apr.  3,  1787.  George  and  Peter  Hum- 
phrey are  supposed  to  be  descended  from  Thomas  Humphrey  of  Pema- 
quid,  who  was  probably  son  of  John  and  Susan  Humphrey  who  came 
from  England  in  1634.  (Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  ii,  pp.  360-63;  Hist,  of

adfa.  Obadiah,  son  of  Jacob  {Mordecai,  Samuel)  and  Mary 
(Holbrook)  Lincoln  of  Scituate,  Mass.,  born  June  29,  or  30, 
1731,  at  Scituate;  bapt.  Oct.  28,  1733,  at  Hingham,  second 
precinct,  now  Cohasset;  died  Apr.  15,  1802,  at  Cohasset  (Family 
Bible  with  Mrs.  William  Lincoln,  adfae  ad,  but  Cohasset  Church 
records  say  April  18).  After  his  marriage  he  lived  for  a  while 
in  Scituate,  but  later  in  Cohasset,  in  a  house  which  he  built  on 
South  Main  street,  south  of  Beechwood  street,  which  was  taken 
down  about  1900.  Family  tradition  says  that  he  was  one  of  a 
company  sent  to  the  relief  of  Fort  William  Henry  in  1757,  but 
as  at  that  time  he  was  living  in  Scituate  and  had  been  married 
but  two  years,  it  seems  more  probable  that  the  Obadiah  Lincoln, 
who  was  sergeant  in  Capt.  Ebenezer  Beal's  Company  which 
marched  to  the  relief  of  Fort  William  Henry,  was  his  cousin 
Obadiah,  ahhg,  who  was  unmarried  and  to  whom  this  service  is 
credited  in  ''  Cohasset  Genealogies,"  p.  232.    (See  Hist,  of  Cohas- 


FOURTH    GENERATION  127 

set,  p.  278.)  The  same  authority  credits  this  cousin  Obadiah, 
abhg,  with  being  a  member  of  the  committee  of  correspondence 
in  1775,  but  as  he  died  in  1762  this  honor  undoubtedly  belongs 
to  the  subject  of  this  sketch. 

Both  the  ''History  of  Hingham"  and  ''Cohasset  Genealogies" 
give  him  a  wife  Elizabeth,  the  former  stating  that  she  was  his 
first  wife  and  that  he  ''may  have  had  a  second  wife,  Jael,"  and 
the  latter  calling  Elizabeth  his  second  wife  and  the  mother  of 
all  his  children  save  the  oldest,  Galen.  Scituate  records,  however, 
clearly  state  that  the  second  child,  Elizabeth,  was  daughter  of 
Jael;  and  as  the  will  of  Mrs.  Isaac  Lincoln,  adc,  dated  July  17, 
1770,  gives  a  legacy  to  "Jael  Lincoln  wife  of  Obadiah  Lincoln," 
and  as  Jael,  according  to  the  family  Bible  did  not  die  until  1814, 
there  seems  to  be  no  room  for  a  wife  Elizabeth  and  probably 
there  never  was  one.  "History  of  Hingham"  also  gives  Obadiah 
a  daughter  Huldah,  born  Jan.  20,  1767,  but  this  was  his  daughter- 
in-law  Huldah,  wife  of  his  son  Amos,  who  was  born  on  that  date. 

He  married,  Aug.  19,  1755,  at  Scituate  (Scituate  Records), 
JaeP,  daughter  of  Thomas^  (Thomas'^,  Richard^)  and  Ruth  (Wade) 
Curtis  of  Scituate,  born  June  29,  1732,  at  Scituate  {Ibid.;  Family 
Bible  says  Feb.  5);  died  Oct.  18,  1814,  at  Cohasset.  (Family 
Bible.)  Her  ancestor,  Richard^  Curtis,  who  was  one  of  four 
brothers  who  came  early  to  New  England,  was  a  proprietor  of 
lands  at  Marblehead,  Mass.,  in  1648,  and  in  the  same  year  pur- 
chased lands  at  Scituate.  Jael's  mother  was  sister  of  Mrs.  Isaac 
Lincoln,  adc.  (Deane's  Hist,  of  Scituate,  p.  251;  Cohasset 
Genealogies,  p.  235;  Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  468;  Scituate 
Records;  Cohasset  Records.)

births  are  recorded  in  Cohasset,  are  called  sons  of  Obadiah  and  Eliza- 
beth. Most  authorities,  including  the  Family  Bible,  say  Amos  was  born 
Oct.  11,  1763.

Hayden  of  Scituate,  born  Aug.  7,  1765,  at  Scituate;  died  Feb.  8,  1851, 
at  Harvard.    He  was  in  early  life  a  mariner  and  lived  at  Scituate  until 


128  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

about  1800,  when  he  removed  to  Sterling,  Mass.,  where  he  purchased, 
March  22,  1800,  of  his  brother-in-law,  Jacob  Lincoln,  adfad,  a  farm  of 
about  thirty  acres  lying  partly  in  Sterling  and  partly  in  Leominster, 
which  he  increased  in  1803  by  a  purchase  of  twenty  acres  from  Andrew 
Putnam.  Here  he  lived  until  1815  when  he  removed  to  Harvard  where 
he  passed  the  rest  of  his  life,  on  a  farm  of  forty-five  acres  which  he  bought, 
Nov.  22,  1815,  of  Josiah  Haskell,  selling  his  farm  in  Sterling,  Dec.  4, 
1815,  to  William  Morris  of  Sterling.  (Worcester  County  Deeds,  vols, 
cxcvi,  pp.  611-13;  ccii,  p.  311.)  Mr.  Hayden  was  descended  through  his 
mother  from  Thomas  Lincoln  "the  husbandman,"  of  Hingham.  His 
will,  dated  Aug.  5,  1850,  probated  March  4,  1851,  names:  wife  Ruth; 
daughter  Fanny;  and  friend  Augustus  Safford  to  whom  he  left  "in 
consideration  of  his  faithful  services  and  the  love  I  have  for  him"  one 
half  of  his  real  and  personal  estate.  (Worcester  County  Probate  Files.)

22,  1839,  names:  Wife  Lydia  Stephenson  to  whom  he  gives  all  his  prop- 
erty, including  "the  farm  of  40  acres  where  I  now  live";  children:  Betsy 
the  wife  of  John  Burpee;  Galen-Lincoln  Stephenson;  Lucy  Stephenson;

worth,  New  Hampshire,  whither  he  had  removed  about  1760. 
It  is  difficult  to  learn  the  facts  about  his  life,  all  the  records  being 
meagre  and  unsatisfactory,  but  from  those  we  have  it  is  evident 
that  he  was  twice  married;  that  his  first  wife  died  soon  after 
marriage;  that  he  had  a  daughter  Mary,  probably  by  his  first

wife;  that  he  was  a  mariner;  that  he  removed  to  Somersworth; 
and  that  he  died  there  about  1764.  The  following  are  extracts 
from  such  records  as  have  been  found :

The  following  from  the  probate  records  of  Plymouth  county, 
Mass.,  has  evidently  confused  the  children  of  Jacob,  Sr.,  and 
Jacob,  Jr.: 

''Mary  Lincoln,  under  fourteen  years,  Thomas  Lincoln  over 
fourteen  years  and  Lydia  Lincoln  above  fourteen  years,  all  of 
Scituate  and  children  of  Jacob  Lincoln  of  Scituate  and  of  Sumer-

worth,  N.  H.,  deceased'*  were  placed  under  guardianship  of 
^Hheir  brother,  Obadiah  Lincoln  of  Hingham  to  take  inheritance 
in  right  of  their  aforesaid  father,  deceased,  of  their  grandfather 
Samuel  Holbrooke  deceased."  Dated  December  18,  1764. 
(Vol.  xviii,  f.  209-11.)  As  Mary,  daughter  of  Jacob,  Sr.,  was 
born  in  1738,  was  married  in  1759  and  did  not  die  until  1834, 
she  Qannot  be  the  Mary  referred  to  in  the  foregoing,  who  was 
under  fourteen  years  in  1764.  Undoubtedly  the  Mary  who  was 
put  under  guardianship  was  the  daughter  of  Jacob,  Jr.,  and  the 
papers  relating  to  the  guardianship  were  carelessly  drawn. 

He  married  (1),  Jan.  24,  1758,  at  Hingham  (Hist,  of  Hingham, 
vol.  ii,  p.  264),  Abigail  Curtis,  of  whom  nothing  has  been  learned. 
She  was,  perhaps,  daughter  of  John  and  Abigail  (Waters)  Curtis 
of  Scituate,  whose  marriage  at  Hingham,  Sept.  23,  1728,  is 
recorded  at  Scituate. 

Of  his  second  wife,  Rachel,  nothing  is  known  save  that  she 
married  (2)  Silas  Nowel  who  died  Apr.  14,  1776,  at  Somersworth 
but  is  called  then  of  Berwick,  Me.  (N.  E.  Hist.  &  Gen.  Register, 
vol.  Ixxiv,  p.  191.) 

Child,  by  first  wife: 

adfba.  Mary,  probably  born  in  1759  as  she  was  over  fourteen  years  of  age 
in  1774  according  to  the  following:  "Province  of  New  Hampshire  Straf- 
ford ss.  At  a  Court  of  Probate  holden  at  Dover  within  &  for  the  said 
county  of  Strafford  on  the  14th  day  of  Decern^  1774  before  the  Hon^ie 
Henry  Rust  Esq  Judge  of  the  Probate  of  Wills  &c  for  the  said  county 
Joseph  Prime  of  Berwick  in  the  County  of  York  Gentleman  was  elected 
and  allowed  to  be  Guardian  unto  Mary  Lincoln  a  minor  upwards  o 
fourteen  years  of  age  who  gave  bond  for  the  faithful  discharge  of  that 
trust  according  to  law 

"Attest  John  Wentworth  Jun  Reg  E" 
(Strafford  County  Probate  Records,  vol.  i,  f.  85.) 

She  is  named  in  her  grandfather  Jacob's  will  dated  Sept.  15,  1779, 
but  is  not  named  in  her  uncle  Caleb  Lincoln's  will  dated  Sept.  3,  1827, 
though  five  of  her  children  are.  It  is  probable  that  she  died  before  that 
date.  She  married,  March  19,  1780,  at  Scituate,  Abner-Hersey^,  son  of 
Isaac^  {Nicholas^,  Josiah"^,  Lawrence^)  and  Hannah  (Hersey)  Litchfield 
of  Scituate,  born  1758,  at  Scituate,  bapt.  Apr.  22,  1759,  at  Scituate;  died 
Aug.  6,  1821,  at  Scituate,  aged  64  years.  He  was  a  soldier  in  the  Revolu- 
tion; was  captured  and  taken  to  HaUfax,  but  escaped.  He  hved  at 
Scituate.  (Scituate  Records;  N.  E.  Hist.  &  Gen.  Register,  vol.  ix,  pp.

Scituate;  died  Sept.  29,  1823,  at  Cohasset,  Mass.  He  served  as 
private  in  Capt.  Obadiah  BeaPs  Company  which  marched  to  the 
siege  of  Boston,  March  4,  1776.  He  Hved  at  Cohasset,  on  Beech- 
wood  street,  in  a  house  which  he  built,  probably  in  1770.  He 
was  a  farmer,  and  in  1771  his  real  estate  was  assessed  for  £89:2:0. 
(Hist,  of  Cohasset,  pp.  275,  293.) 

He  married,  Aug.  19,  1770,  at  Cohasset,  Sarah^,  daughter  of 
Isaac^  {Isaa&,  Mordecai^,  Samuel^)  and  Ruth  (Beal)  Lincoln  of

and  his  wife  are  buried  in  Central  burying  ground,  Cohasset.

cinct; died  Nov.  1,  1843,  at  Springfield,  Vt.  They  lived  at  first  at  Beech- 
woods,  Cohasset,  but  removed  in  1790  to  Springfield,  making  the  journey 
on  a  sled  drawn  by  a  yoke  of  oxen  and  one  horse.  They  were  two  weeks 
making  the  journey,  which  a  deep  snow,  badly  drifted,  made  very  tedious. 
Mr.  Bates  was  chosen  deacon  of  the  Congregational  church  at  Spring- 
field in  April,  1811,  and  held  the  office  until  his  death.  (Cohasset  Genealo-

at  Scituate),  Nehemiah,  son  of  John  and  Miriam  (Curtis)  Manson  of 
Scituate,  born  1760,  at  Scituate;  died  Nov.  13,  1832,  at  Scituate,  aged 
72  years.  He  is  said  to  have  been  a  captain  in  the  Revolution,  but  it 
is  a  question  whether  his  title  of  "captain"  is  not  wholly  due  to  his  com- 
mand of  the  Scituate  schooner  "Hannah"  some  time  after  the  war. 
The  "History  of  Cohasset"  calls  him  "Captain  Nehemiah  Manson  of 
Cohasset"  though  he  seems  always  to  have  lived  at  Scituate.  He  mar- 
ried (2),  Dec.  4,  1817,  at  Scituate,  Mercy,  daughter  of  Gideon  and  Mercy 
(Lincoln)  Jenkins  of  Scituate,  adcaj  e,  born  March  19, 1789,  at  Scituate;

age  of  fourteen  he  went  to  Boston,  where  he  worked  for  seven  years  at 
the  carpenter's  trade;  he  then  removed  to  Thomaston,  Me.,  where  for 
three  years  he  was  employed  on  General  Knox's  mansion,  Montpelier. 
He  then  returned  to  Boston,  was  married  and  built  a  brick  house  on 
Lyman  Place  near  the  old  Leverett  jail.  He  removed  in  1812  to  Spring- 
field, Vt.,  where  he  bought  a  farm  which  is  still  in  the  family  (1902). 
After  his  marriage  he  lived  at  Watertown,  Mass.,  until  1806.  (Cohasset

FIFTH  GENERATION 

aabaa.  Zadock,  son  of  Samuel  (Samuel,  Samuel,  Samuel) 
and.  Mary  (Bates)  Lincoln  of  Hingham,  Mass.,  born  Dec.  18, 
1744,  at  Hingham  (Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  464);  died  June 
13,  1813,  at  Bath,  Me.  (Gravestone.)  He  removed  to  Maine 
and  settled  at  Georgetown,  purchasing  there,  May  10,  1770, 
of  John  Partridge  a  tract  of  two  hundred  acres  in  that  part 
which  is  now  Bath.  (Lincoln  County  Deeds,  vol.  vii,  f.  207.) 
He  is  described  as  ''mariner"  and  "merchant"  but  must  have 
been  also  a  farmer  if  he  cultivated  his  land,  as  he  presumably 
did.  He  left  no  will,  and  Ebenezer  Clap  of  Bath  was  appointed 
administrator  on  his  estate,  Aug.  10,  1814.  (Lincoln  County 
Probate  Records,  vols,  xvi,  pp.  211-2;  xvii,  p.  290.)  On  the 
same  date  his  estate  was  appraised  at  $895.79  personal  and  $3000 
real,  there  being  then  but  170  acres  of  land.  January  9,  1816, 
on  petition  of  David  Drummond  and  Jane  Drummond  in  her 
right  as  an  heir,  the  several  heirs  at  law  of  Zadock  Lincoln  were 
notified  to  appear  and  show  cause  why  the  real  estate  should 
not  be  divided.  This  notice  was  read  to  Susan  Lincoln,  daughter 
of  said  Zadock;  to  Mrs.  Mary  Mary  [sic;  Mrs.  Mary  Low  evi- 
dently intended]  another  daughter;  and  to  Mrs.  Mary  Lincoln, 
widow  of  said  Zadock,  Jan.  23,  1816;  Frances  Lincoln,  daughter 
of  said  Zadock  was  notified  March  6, 1816;  and  as  William  Lincoln, 
one  of  the  heirs,  was  out  of  the  Commonwealth,  Ebenezer  Clap 
was  appointed  to  represent  him  Jan.  9,  1816.  A  division  was 
made  Apr.  19,  1816,  giving  to  his  widow  Mary  Lincoln  one  third 
part  of  the  land,  excepting  from  the  lot  so  conveyed  "the  lot 
conveyed  by  said  Zadock  to  his  daughter  Jane  Drummond," 
certain  rights  in  the  house  and  one  third  of  a  pew  in  the  South 
meeting  house  in  Bath.  The  rest  of  the  estate  was  divided 
between  William  Lincoln,  Mary  Low,  Francis  [sic]  Lincoln, 
Susan  Lincoln  and  Jane  Drummond.  There  is  a  plan  of  the  farm 
in  the  records  which  shows  it  to  have  extended  from  the  river 
across  Washington  and  High  streets  and  to  have  been  bounded 
on  the  east  by  Marshall  street,  the  house  being  on  the  western 


136  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

side  of  the  farm.  A  memorandum  states  that  this  farm  was 
conveyed  by  James  Gilson  of  Boston  to  John  Sullivan  of  George- 
town, July  4,  1749,  and  contained  then  two  hundred  acres. 

Nothing  has  been  learned  of  the  birth  and  parentage  of  his 
wife,  nor  has  any  record  been  found  as  yet  of  the  birth  and  death 
of  his  children  Susan  and  William.  Susan  sold  a  part  of  her  in- 
herited land  Dec.  31, 1821,  to  Ezekiel  Drummond  of  Georgetown, 
but  a  search  of  the  Lincoln  county  and  Sagadahoc  county 
records  reveals  no  disposition  of  William's  inheritance,  nor  of 
the  remainder  of  Susan's.  William,  who  was  out  of  the  State 
in  1816,  was  presumably  a  sailor  and,  perhaps,  never  returned  to 
Bath.  No  living  descendant  of  Zadock  has  yet  been  found  from 
whom  information  may  be  obtained. 

Zadock  and  his  wife  and  his  daughter  Mary  are  buried  in 
Maplegrove  cemetery,  Bath ;  one  large  slate  stone  being  inscribed 
as  follows : 

"In  memory  of  J  Capt.  Zadock  Lincoln  J  who  died  J  June 
13,  1813  t  aet  68  J  also  his  widow  Mrs.  Mary  Lincoln  |  who 
died  Nov.  20,  1829  t  aet  86."  Bath  records  say  she  died  Nov. 
24,  1829,  aged  85.  Next  to  this  stone  is  one  bearing  the  following 
inscription:  "Mrs.  J  Mary  Low  t  died  May  21,  1850  t  ae  81 
t  widow  of  Capt.  Jacob  Low  |  a  revolutionary  officer." 

Children,  born  at  Bath: 

aabaa  a.  Mary,  born  September,  1768;  died  May  21,  1850,  at  Bath;  married 
Jacob  Low  of  Bath.  He  is  called  on  his  wife's  gravestone  a  * '  revolutionary 
officer."  A  deed  dated  Aug.  7,  1798,  calls  him  "trader"  and  "deputy 
sheriff"  of  Bath.  December  7,  1818,  Mary  Low,  "widow,"  sold  the  land 
she  inherited  from  her  father.  She  is  then  called  of  Bath.  No  children 
are  recorded  at  Bath.    (Lincoln  County  Deeds,  vol.  civ,  f .  64.) 

aabaa  b.  Frances,  born  1770;  died  July  25,  1834,  at  Bath.  (Bath  Records; 
Cemetery  Records  say  she  died  July  20,  and  her  gravestone  says  she  was 
aged  64  years.)  The  will  of  Frances  Lincoln  of  Bath,  "singlewoman," 
dated  Apr.  10,  1834,  gives  her  property  to  her  sister  Susan  Gardner  and 
to  Gilbert  Infant  of  Bath,  in  trust  for  Samuel  Lincoln  of  Bath.  The  will 
was  proved  Feb.  18,  1835,  andGeorge  Gardner  of  Hallowell  was  appointed 
administrator  with  will  annexed  and,  either  then  or  later,  was  made 
trustee  in  place  of  Gilbert  Infant.  February  19,  1840,  a  petition  of  Robert 
Babb,  as  one  of  the  kindred  of  Samuel  Lincoln,  recites  that  George 
Gardiner  was  appointed  trustee  of  the  estate  of  said  Samuel  of  Bath 
"decreed  to  him  by  will  of  his  late  mother  Frances  Lincoln  deceased," 
that  said  trustee  has  died  and  asks  for  another  appointment;  Charles 
Crocker  was  thereupon  appointed.  (Lincoln  County  Probate  Records, 
vols,  xxxiv,  f.  216;  xl,  f.  463;  xlviii,  f.  551.)     From  this  it  would  appear

that  Samuel  was  an  illegitimate  son  of  Frances.  He  married,  March  26, 
1839,  at  Bath,  Miss  Ann  Babb  of  Bath,  perhaps  sister  of  the  aforenamed 
Robert,  and  had  a  child  born  March,  1840,  who  died  Sept.  20, 1841,  "aged 
one  year  six  months."  (Bath  Records.)  No  further  records  have  been

Lincoln.  (Sagadahoc  County  Deeds,  vols,  vii,  f.  328;  x,  f.  490.)  Accord-

and  Mary  Baxter  of  Hailburn,  county  Cheshire,  England,  by  whom  he 
had  four  children:  Mark,  born  Feb.  10,  1789;  Mary,  born  June  24,

haps, born  there.  She  died  July  11,  1855,  at  Gorham,  where  she  married, 
July  1,  1814,  according  to  the  family  records  but  Sept.  20,  1813,  if  the 
"History  of  Gorham"  is  correct,  Calvin,  son  of  Calvin  and  Mary  Edwards 
of  Ashby,  Mass.,  born  Jan.  16,  1791,  at  Ashby;  died  Dec.  6,  1870,  at 
South  Natick,  Mass.  He  went  to  Gorham  about  1810.  He  was  a  cabinet- 
maker and  after  some  years  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  organs.

Thacher  house,  and  afterwards  in  the  Storer  house.  He  married  (2)

Mass.,"  by  whom  he  had  a  daughter,  Grace,  born  Dec.  21,  1857;  died 
May  19,  1870.  Portland  records  say  the  intentions  of  this  marriage  were 
published  there  Jan.  1,  1853,  but  this  must  be  an  error  for  1856  or  1857, 
since  his  first  wife  did  not  die  until  1855,  and  there  is  no  evidence  of  a 
divorce.  Mrs.  Locke  was  undoubtedly  widow  of  James  W.  Locke  of 
Natick,  who  had  by  wife  Louisa  F.,  a  son  James-Frederick,  born  Sept.

lowing account  of  him  is  from  a  manuscript  record  of  this  branch 
of  the  family  by  Rev.  Charles-Lincoln  Morgan,  a  great-grandson, 
see  aabck  aa:  ''He  received  a  common  school  education;  was  an 
apt  learner  and  improved  well  the  scant  advantages  afforded 
by  the  public  schools  at  that  time.  At  the  age  of  fourteen  he 
was  apprenticed  to  a  Mr.  Hersey,  a  shoe-maker.  Having  served 
seven  years,  he  continued  for  a  while  longer  with  Mr.  Hersey 
and  then  set  up  in  business  for  himself  in  a  shop  on  Purchase 
street,  Boston,  where  his  excellent  work  brought  him  business 
and  prosperity.  He  was  a  man  of  unusual  intelligence  and  took 
an  active  interest  in  the  welfare  of  the  town.  He  was  a  member 
of  a  military  company  known  as  the  'Republican  Volunteers,' 
which  marched  to  join  the  forces  under  General  Lincoln  at  the 
breaking  out  of  Shays's  rebellion,  but  did  not  reach  the  scene 
of  action  until  the  insurgents  had  surrendered.  Soon  after  his 
marriage,  in  company  with  his  brother-in-law,  Elijah  Leavitt, 
he  built  a  frame  house  on  Fort  Hill.  In  1799,  on  the  breaking 
out  of  yellow  fever  in  Boston,  he  removed  with  his  family  to 


152  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

Hingham,  relinquished  his  business  in  Boston,  and  engaged 
in  grocery  business,  in  which  he  continued  until  1810,  when 
receiving  an  appointment  as  inspector  in  the  Boston  Custom 
House,  he  returned  with  his  family  to  Boston,  and  occupied  a 
house  in  Prince  street,  believed  to  be  the  same  in  which  Major 
Pitcairn  died  from  wounds  received  at  the  battle  of  Bunker 
Hill.  He  made  various  removals,  finally  living  in  a  'rough  cast' 
house,  on  the  site  of  the  present  Cushman  school  ground,  in 
which  he  died.  He  continued  to  hold  the  office  of  inspector  for 
twenty  years  until  1830,  when  he  was  removed  by  President 
Jackson  under  the  'spoils  system.'  From  1830  to  1838  he  was  a 
representative  in  the  General  Court.  He  was  an  enthusiastic 
whig;  of  great  public  spirit  and  intensely  patriotic.  Socially 
he  was  very  popular.  His  character  was  of  the  highest  type,  his 
integrity  irreproachable,  and  his  word  as  good  as  his  bond. 
He  was  devoutly  religious  and  both  a  member  and  regular  at- 
tendant of  the  New  North  church.  He  first  saw  his  future  wife, 
Mary  Barry,  when  she  sat  in  the  singers'  seats  of  the  church  on 
Church  Green.  The  portrait  of  Charles  Lincoln,  in  the  posses- 
sion, 1910,  of  Mrs.  Horace  Dodd,  his  granddaughter,  aabck  /e, 
shows  a  face  of  decided  force,  benevolence  and  purpose."

1831,  at  Boston.  (Boston  Records.)  In  ''WiUiam  and  Esther 
Barry"  she  is  called  ''very  beautiful,"  and  Rev.  Mr.  Morgan 
says  of  her:  "she  had  dark  hair  and  a  full  face,  and  was  regarded 
a  handsome  woman."

fine  appearance,  with  courtly  manners,  and  was  a  general  favorite.  He 
was  for  some  time  member  and  clerk  of  the  Boston  Fusileers.  Marching 
with  the  company  at  the  funeral  of  Governor  Eustis,  he  contracted  a  cold 
which  induced  consumption.  At  the  time  of  his  death  he  was  betrothed 
to  Miss  Catherine  Wilde.

aabck  h.  Beza,  born  Apr.  20, 1809 ;  died  March  20, 1900,  at  Boston,  unmarried . 
He  was  educated  at  Christ  Church  Academy  and  at  the  Boston  Latin 
School,  which  latter  he  left  at  the  age  of  fifteen.  In  1824  he  became  a  clerk 
in  the  drug  store  of  Robert  Fenelly  and,  in  1828,  on  the  death  of  Mr. 
Fenelly  he  purchased  the  business  and  conducted  it  for  four  years,  when 
he  entered  into  partnership  with  Frederick  Doane  in  the  wholesale  drug 
business.  This  partnership  was  dissolved  in  about  a  year  and,  two  years 
later,  he  became  a  partner  of  Daniel  Bartlett  in  the  flour  business.  Mr. 
Bartlett  was  succeeded  by  Joseph  Mead  and  he,  in  turn,  by  Capt.  Jairus 
Beal  of  Hingham.  The  firm  of  Lincoln  &  Beal  continued  in  the  flour 
business  for  thirty  years  at  the  corner  of  Commercial  and  Richmond 
streets,  but,  after  Mr.  Beal's  death,  Mr.  Lincoln  closed  the  store  and 
opened  an  office  for  commission  business  in  the  old  Exchange  building  in 
State  street,  removing  later  to  Exchange  place  where  he  continued  in 
business  up  to  his  eighty-seventh  year.  Through  his  long  business  life 
he  was  ever  the  very  soul  of  honor,  while  justice,  humanity  and  generosity 
marked  his  whole  career.  He  was  a  most  ardent  patriot  and  in  politics  a 
devoted  Republican.  In  1847  he  united  with  others  to  form  the  First 
Unitarian  Society  of  East  Boston,  but,  in  later  life,  he  was  a  regular 
attendant  at  the  Old  South  Church  until,  removing  with  his  brother  to 
Appleton  street,  he  became  a  member  of  the  Church  of  the  Disciples,  which 
relationship  continued  until  his  death.  He  was  identified  with  many 
associations  for  the  public  welfare,  and  became  a  life  member  of  the  New 
England  Historic  Genealogical  Society  in  1878.  "For  unostentatious 
but  efficient  service  in  every  cause  his  judgment  approved,  for  ceaseless 
devotion  to  the  highest  and  best  in  every  phase  of  fife,  for  every  virtue 
which  gives  to  manhood  grace  and  strength,  Beza  Lincoln  will  be  cherished 
in  memory  as  one  of  the  ideal  men  whom  to  know  was  to  honor  and  love."

Register,  vol.  Ixv,  pp.  Ixi-lxiii.)

1773,  at  Hingham;  died  Nov.  3,  1861,  at  Warwick,  Mass.,  but 
the  ''History  of  Warwick"  says  Nov.  9.  He  married  (1),  Sept. 
22,  1814,  at  Northfield,  Mass.,  Mrs.  Roxanna  (Wood)  Moody, 
daughter  of  Barzillai  and  Mary  (Shattuck)  Wood  of  Northfield 
and  widow  of  Abijah  Moody,  whom  she  married  June  8,  1807, 
at  Northfield.  She  was  born  Dec.  15,  1787,  at  Northfield  and 
died  before  Feb.  27,  1823,  when  Mr.  Lincoln  married  (2),  at 
Warwick,  Mrs.  Mary  (Smith)  Gale,  daughter  of  Abner  Smith 
of  Warwick  and  widow  of  Jesse  Gale,  to  whom  she  was  published 
Nov.  19,  1794,  at  Warwick  and  who  died  June  18,  1817,  at 
Warwick.  (Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  465;  Hist,  of  Warwick, 
pp.  209,  216,  224;  Hist,  of  Northfield,  pp.  482,  566;  Mass.  Vital 
Records.) 

Gushing  Lincoln  served  one  year  on  the  school  committee. 
He  was  a  farmer.  He  and  his  second  wife,  Mary,  and  Jesse 
Gale  are  buried  in  Warwick  cemetery,  the  body  of  Mary  lying 
between  her  two  husbands.  The  inscriptions  on  the  stones  are 
as  follows:  "Gushing  Lincoln  t  died  t  Nov.  8,  1861  t  AE.  87." 
"Mary  t  wife  of  J  Gushing  Lincoln  J  died  t  Nov.  30,  1859  t 
AE.  85."  "Mr.  J  Jesse  Gale  t  died  t  18  June  1817  t  AE  45  t 
Whilst  at  my  calling  as  I  wrought  J  By  Gods  supreme  decree  t

The  will  of  Gushing  Lincoln  of  Warwick,  yeoman,  dated  Apr. 
2,  1850,  petition  for  its  probate,  dated  March  11,  1862,  names: 
"beloved  wife  Mary  Lincoln";  gives  "to  my  son  Jotham  Lincoln 
five  dollars";  "to  John  G  Gale  my  respected  neighbor  all  the 
rest  and  residue  of  my  real  and  personal  estate,"  and  names 
him  as  executor.  No  reason  has  been  found  for  this  somewhat 
extraordinary  disposition  of  his  property,  but  the  following  letter 
shows  that  his  son  thought  it  to  be  proper,  and  it  is  also  of  value 
as  showing  that  there  were  no  other  children. 

"To  Charles  Mattoon,  Esq.,  Judge  of  Probate,  etc.  Sir: 
Being  the  only  child  of  the  late  Gushing  Lincoln  I  hereby  certify 
that  I  shall  make  no  objection  to  the  provisions  of  his  last  will 
and  testament.    May  12,  1862.         [signed]  Jotham  Lincoln."

aacbc.  Levi,  son  of  Enoch  (Jedediah,  Samuel,  Samuel)  and 
Rachel  (Fearing)  Lincoln  of  Hingham,  Mass.,  born  May  15, 
1749,  at  Hingham  according  to  Hingham  records,  but  all  other 
records  say  May  5;  died  Apr.  14,  1820,  at  Worcester,  Mass. 
(Worcester  Records.)  At  an  early  age  he  showed  a  strong  taste 
for  study,  but  his  father,  unwilling  to  favor  one  son  more  than 
another,  apprenticed  him  at  the  usual  age  to  Jeremiah  Lincoln, 
a  blacksmith  of  Hingham  and  a  great-grandson  of  Thomas 
Lincoln,  the  cooper.  He  remained  with  him  until  December, 
1767,  when,  having  shown  a  strong  distaste  for  his  trade  and  a 
marked  love  for  reading  and  study,  in  which  he  indulged  during 
the  hours  usually  allotted  to  sleep,  his  friends  headed  by  the 
venerable  Dr.  Ebenezer  Gay  persuaded  his  master  to  relinquish 
his  time,  and  his  father  to  allow  him  to  fit  for  and  enter  Harvard 
College.  He  studied  for  six  months  with  Mr.  Dunbar,  the  teacher 
of  the  public  grammar  school  of  Hingham,  and  was  able  to  enter 
college  the  following  summer,  with  the  expectation  of  his  friends 
and  himself  that  he  would  enter  the  ministry.  This  purpose 
was  deflected  to  the  law  by  his  hearing,  on  a  casual  visit  to  the 
courts,  an  eloquent  address  by  the  elder  Adams.  After  gradua- 
tion in  1772  he  studied  law,  first  with  Daniel  Farnham,  Esq., 
at  Newburyport,  Mass.,  and  later  with  Joseph  Hawley,  Esq., 
at  Northampton,  Mass.,  from  which  town  he  marched  with  the 
minute  men  to  Cambridge  on  the  occasion  of  the  Lexington 
alarm.  On  the  passing  of  the  immediate  emergency  he  returned 
to  Northampton,  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  Hampshire  county 
and  immediately  after  settled  in  Worcester,  where  he  passed 
the  remainder  of  his  life.  Here  he  at  once  took  a  prominent 
position  and  developed  that  decision  of  character,  energy  of 
purpose,  capacity  to  lead  and  popular  address  which  marked  his 
career  through  life.  From  that  time  until  compelled  to  retire 
from  active  life  by  almost  total  loss  of  sight  some  forty  years 
later,  he  was  in  almost  constant  public  service,  either  for  the 
town,  the  state  or  the  nation  and,  at  the  same  time,  carried  on 
an  extensive  law  practice  which  is  said  to  have  exceeded  that  of 
any  other  member  of  the  bar.  '^He  was,"  says  Joseph  Willard 
in  ''An  Address  before  the  Members  of  the  Worcester  County 
Bar,"  "without  question,  at  the  head  of  the  bar,  from  the  close 
of  the  Revolution  till  he  left  our  courts  at  the  commencement

of  the  present  century.  His  professional  business  far  exceeded 
that  of  any  other  member  of  the  bar.  He  was  retained  in  every 
case  of  importance;  and  for  many  years,  constantly  attended 
the  courts  in  Hampshire  and  Middlesex.  His  great  command 
of  language,  his  power  in  searching  out  the  truth  from  unwilling 
witnesses,  in  analyzing,  arranging  and  presenting  to  the  mind 
the  evidence  of  the  case,  rendered  him  a  highly  popular  advocate, 
and  gave  him  great  success  in  jury  trials." 

In  December,  1775,  on  the  reopening  of  the  courts  after  their 
suspension,  he  was  appointed  Clerk  and,  on  resigning  this  office 
in  January,  1777,  he  was  commissioned  Judge  of  Probate,  which 
office  he  held  until  1781.  At  a  town  meeting,  March  4,  1776,  he 
was  chosen  a  member  of  the  committee  of  correspondence, 
inspection  and  safety,  which  position  he  held  for  one  year.  March 
11,  1777,  he  was  on  a  committee  to  instruct  the  representatives. 
February  2, 1778,  he  was  on  a  committee  to  draw  up  a  petition  and 
remonstrances.  The  petition  was  accepted  and  he  was  appointed 
to  attend  the  General  Court  to  prefer  said  petition.  In  1779  he 
was  specially  designated  to  prosecute  the  claims  of  the  govern- 
ment to  the  large  estates  of  the  refugees  confiscated  under  the 
Absentee  Act;  and  was  commissioner  to  expedite  the  payment  of 
the  Continental  tax.  August  18, 1779,  he  was  elected  a  delegate  to 
a  State  convention  to  form  a  new  constitution.  September  1, 1779, 
he  was  moderator  of  the  town  meeting.  In  February,  1781,  he  was 
elected  by  the  Legislature,  under  the  Confederation,  representa- 
tive in  the  Continental  Congress,  but  the  honor  was  declined. 
October  22,  1781,  he  was  on  a  committee  "to  remonstrate 
against  a  Roads  being  Laid  out  by  the  Courts  Committee  through 
parte  of  the  Town  of  Worcester."  May  12,  1783,  he  was  on  a 
committee  to  prepare  an  answer  to  a  letter  received  from  the 
Committee  of  Correspondence  of  the  Town  of  Boston  and  to 
prepare  instructions  for  the  representatives.  In  this  year,  1783, 
he  was  called  by  the  Supreme  Court  to  the  degree  of  Barrister 
at  Law,  a  judicial  distinction  only  conferred  in  Worcester  county 
after  the  Revolution,  upon  himself  and  Judge  John  Sprague. 
March  5, 1792,  he  was  chosen  a  member  of  the  school  committee. 
March  2, 1795,  he  was  placed  on  a  committee  to  district  the  town 
into  school  squadrons.  May  7,  1796,  he  was  chosen  representa- 
tive to  the  General  Court,  to  which  office  he  was  re-elected  May 


FIFTH   GENERATION  159 

15,  1797.  In  this  latter  year  he  was  elected  senator  and  seems 
to  have  served  in  both  capacities,  his  name  being  recorded  both 
as  senator  and  representative  in  the  Journals  of  the  General 
Court,  and  while  holding  these  offices  *' exerted  strong  influence 
in  the  legislative  action,  particularly  in  the  modification  of  the 
judicial  and  school  systems." 

In  the  Fall  of  1800,  Hon.  Dwight  Foster  having  resigned  his 
seat  in  the  national  house  of  representatives,  a  special  election 
was  held,  August  20,  to  fill  the  vacancy.  The  law  then  requiring 
a  majority  to  elect,  there  was  no  choice,  which  again  happened 
at  a  second  election  held  October  20,  though  on  both  occasions 
Mr.  Lincoln  received  a  plurality.  At  the  general  election  on 
November  3,  Mr.  Lincoln  was  elected  to  the  next  congress,  and 
at  a  third  special  election  to  fill  the  vacancy  held  December  18, 
he  received  a  majority  of  the  votes  cast  and  took  his  seat  in 
the  last  session  of  the  sixth  congress.  He  was,  soon  after,  selected 
by  President-Elect  Jefferson  to  form  one  of  his  cabinet  and  on 
March  5, 1801,  he  was  appointed  Attorney-General  of  the  United 
States.     Mr.  Madison,  who  had  been  appointed  Secretary  of 

I  State,  not  arriving  in  Washington  until  May,  Mr.  Lincoln  served 
as  provisional  Secretary  of  State  until  his  arrival.    After  nearly 

I  four  years'  service  Mr.  Lincoln  resigned  his  office,  and  Mr.  Jeffer-

''Washington  Dec.  28,  04 

1  ''Dear  Sir 

"I  received  last  night  your  letter  of  the  26th  proposing  to 
resign  your  office  and  I  received  it  with  real  affliction.  It  would 
have  been  my  greatest  happiness  to  have  kept  together  to  the 
end  of  my  term  our  executive  family :  for  our  harmony  &  cordial- 
ity has  really  made  us  but  as  one  family,  believing  too  that 
another  four  years  will  consolidate  the  basis  on  which  we  are 
building  the  political  &  physical  happiness  of  our  country,  I 
did  wish  to  see  my  associates  sharing  each  in  that  honest  fame  & 
heartfelt  satisfaction  with  which  such  an  achievement  must 
reward  them,  yet  I  am  a  father  and  have  been  a  husband.  I 
know  the  sacred  duties  which  these  relations  impose  the  feelings

they  inspire,  &  that  they  are  not  to  be  resisted  by  a  warm  heart. 
I  yield  therefore  to  your  will,  you  carry  with  you  my  entire 
approbation  of  your  official  conduct,  my  thanks  for  your  services, 
my  regrets  on  losing  them,  and  my  affectionate  friendship. 

"I  must  now  turn  to  the  painful  task  of  finding  a  successor, 
altho  you  had  prepared  me  for  this  event,  I  am  as  much  un- 
provided as  if  it  were  now  for  the  first  time  mentioned.  I  see 
not  who  is  to  fill  the  chasm,  but  this  labor  is  my  lot.  be  yours 
that  of  a  domestic  felicit}^,  of  health  &  long  life,  and  with  this 
wish  accept  my  affectionate  salutations  &  assurance  of  great  & 
constant  esteem  &  respect.

But  his  public  life  was  not  yet  ended.  In  the  spring  of  1806 
he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  governor's  council  and  in  1807 
and  1808  he  was  lieutenant-governor  of  the  commonwealth  with 
Governor  James  Sullivan  at  whose  death,  Dec.  10,  1808,  he 
became  acting  governor  for  the  remainder  of  the  term,  which 
then  ended  in  May.  In  1809  he  was  candidate  for  the  governor- 
ship but  was  defeated.  In  May,  1810,  and  again  in  May,  1811,  he 
was  elected  to  the  council,  and  in  the  latter  year  was  appointed 
associate  justice  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  by 
President  Madison,  who  wrote  to  him  as  follows: 

"You  will  see  by  the  commission  which  will  be  forwarded  from 
the  Department  of  State,  that  I  have  taken  the  liberty  of  nominat- 
ing you  to  the  Senate  as  successor  to  Judge  Gushing,  notwith- 
standing your  remonstrances  against  .a  recall  into  the  national 
service.  I  was  induced  to  this  step,  not  only  by  my  personal 
wishes,  but  by  those  of  others,  between  whom  and  yourself 
exists  all  the  reciprocal  respect  that  can  add  weight  to  them,  and 
particularly  by  their  persuading  themselves,  that  your  patriotism 
would  acquiesce  in  an  appointment,  however  contrary  it  might 
be  to  your  previous  inclinations.  I  venture  to  flatter  myself 
that  in  this  we  may  not  be  disappointed:  and  that,  in  every 
event,  you  will  regard  the  liberty  I  have  taken  in  imposing  the 
dilemma  upon  you,  with  the  indulgence  due  to  my  motives, 
and  to  the  great  esteem  and  sincere  friendship  of  which  I  prayB^ 
you  to  accept  my  renewed  assurance."  frcD 

This  flattering  appointment  he  was  obliged  to   decline   bylN?

reason  of  failing  eyesight,  which  afterwards  resulted  in  almost 
total  bHndness  and  enforced  his  final  retirement  from  public 
life.  On  hearing  of  his  decision  Mr.  Jefferson  wrote  him  as 
follows:  ''Be  assured  your  place  is  high  among  those  whose 
remembrance  I  have  brought  with  me  into  retirement  and 
cherish  with  warmth.  I  was  overjoyed  when  I  heard  you  were 
appointed  to  the  supreme  bench  of  national  justice,  and  as  much 
mortified  when  I  heard  you  had  declined."  Partial  restoration 
of  sight  enabled  Mr.  Lincoln  to  pass  the  remainder  of  his  life 
in  the  cultivation  of  his  farm  and  in  classical  studies,  of  both 
which  pursuits  he  was  passionately  fond.  His  farm,  consisting 
of  152  acres,  was  on  both  sides  of  the  Boston  turnpike,  now 
Lincoln  street,  and  the  mansion  house,  removed  many  years 
ago,  is  still  (1921)  standing  at  the  corner  of  Grove  and  Lexington 
•  streets. 

Among  the  many  legal  cases  in  which  Mr.  Lincoln  was  en- 
gaged as  counsel  none,  perhaps,  was  more  important  or  had 
such  far  reaching  results  as  the  celebrated,  but  now  almost 
forgotten,  case  of  Jennison  versus  Caldwell,  for  enticing  away  a 
^  negro  slave  named  Quork  Walker,  which  was  tried  on  appeal  in 
1781  before  the  Superior  Court  of  Judicature.    There  is  no  full 
report  of  the  trial  but  Mr.  Lincoln's  brief  is  preserved  among 
the  manuscripts  of  the  American  Antiquarian  Society.    Basing 
his  argument  on  the  laws  of  nature  and  of  God,  on  an  article  in 
.    the  ''Body  of  Liberties"  of  1643,  and  on  the  first  article  in  the 
.    Bill  of  Rights  adopted  by  the  people  of  Massachusetts  in  1780, 
he  deduced  that  no  man  in  this  State  could  claim  to  be  the  master 
of  another.     Judgment  was  rendered  for  the  Caldwells,   Mr. 
Lincoln's  clients,  and  the  final  effect  of  this  was  a  verdict  before 
j   the  Supreme  Judicial  Court  in  1783,  which  forever  abolished 
>    slavery  in  Massachusetts.    In  an  obituary  notice  in  the  "Spy," 
Apr.  26,  1820,  a  few  days  after  Mr.  Lincoln's  death,  is  the  follow- 
ing reference  to  this  case : 

"How  few  of  our  rising  politicians  have  been  taught  that  the 

first  practical  comment  on  the  introductory  clause  of  the  Bill  of 

;   Rights  was  first  given  by  a  Worcester  jury:  That  it  was  here 

-  first  shown,  by  the  irresistible  eloquence  of   Lincoln,  that  all 

men  were  in  truth  born  free  and  equal,  and  that  a  Court  sitting 

under  the  authority  of  our  Constitution  could  not  admit  as  a 

11 


162  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

justification  for  an  assault,  the  principle  of  Master  and  Slave: 
That  it  was  the  memorable  verdict  obtained  upon  this  trial 
which  first  broke  the  fetters  of  negro  slavery  in  Massachusetts, 
and  let  the  oppressed  free.  This  deed  of  Judge  Lincoln,  even  if  it 
stood  alone,  ought  to  consecrate  his  memory  with  every  free- 
man." 

It  is  a  remarkable  fact  that  the  abolition  of  slavery  in  Massa- 
chusetts, thus  peaceably  brought  about  by  the  eloquence  and 
arguments  of  one  descendant  of  Samuel  Lincoln,  the  Hingham 
settler,  was  followed  some  eighty  years  later,  in  the  midst  of  a 
civil  war,  by  the  act  of  another  descendant.  President  Abraham 
Lincoln,  which  forever  abolished  slavery  in  the  whole  United 
States.  (See  Hist,  of  Worcester  County,  Boston,  1879,  pp.  66-69; 
Proceedings  Mass.  Hist.  Soc'y,  1873-5,  pp.  293-8;  also  Collections 
of  ditto,  vol.  xxxix,  pp.  333-346,  for  further  account  of  these 
trials.) 

Mr.  Lincoln  married,  Nov.  25,  1781,  at  Lancaster,  Mass.  (by 
Rev.  Timothy  Harrington),  Martha^,  daughter  of  DanieP  {Cor- 
nelius^, Cornelius^,  Cornelius^)  and  Rebecca  (Salisbury)  Waldo 
of  Worcester,  born  Sept.  14,  1761,  at  Boston,  Mass.,  died  March 
28,  1828,  at  Worcester.  "It  is  a  circumstance  worthy  of  note, 
that  she  was  followed  to  the  grave  by  two  sons,  who  are  now 
Governors  of  the  States  of  Massachusetts  and  Maine,  and  by 
another  son  and  son-in-law,  who  are  senators  of  Massachusetts, 
and  a  brother  who  has  held  the  same  station."  (From  the 
Worcester  Spy,  Apr.  2,  1828.)  They  are  both  buried  in  Rural 
cemetery,  Worcester.  There  is  no  portrait  of  Mrs.  Lincoln  known 
to  be  in  existence.  The  only  life  portrait  of  Mr.  Lincoln  is  a  high 
relief  in  wax,  said  to  have  been  executed  by  C.  Rauschner,  a 
Russian  Pole,  while  Mr.  Lincoln  was  lieutenant-governor,  and 
now  in  the  possession  of  Waldo  Lincoln,  his  great-grandson. 
From  this  several  oil  portraits  have  been  made,  one  of  which  is 
in  the  office  of  the  Attorney-General  at  Washington.

before  the  Bunker  Hill  Association,  July  4,  1810,  are  the  only  printed 
memorials  of  the  splendid  genius  he  possessed."  (Hist,  of  Worcester, 
p.  271.)  A  volume  of  his  letters  is  in  the  possession  of  his  great-nephew, 
Waldo  Lincoln.  An  obituary  notice  of  him  in  the  Worcester  "Aegis," 
Apr.  19,  1815,  says:  "The  loss  of  this  gentleman  is  a  calamity  which 
reaches  beyond  the  circle  of  his  connections  and  acquaintances.  Society 
is  deprived  of  the  most  distinguished  talents  and  virtues.  In  the  at- 
tainments of  the  scholar,  in  the  accomphshments  of  the  gentleman,  in 
the  noble  enthusiasm  of  the  patriot,  in  all  the  best  quaHties  and  affec- 
tions of  the  human  heart,  few  in  our  country  have  equalled,  scarce  any 
exceeded  him.  All  who  knew  him  were  his  friends,  all  who  remember 
him  are  his  mourners.

He  graduated  at  Dartmouth  College  in  1807;  studied  law  with  Hon. 
Francis  Blake  in  Worcester  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1810.  "New- 
ton Genealogy,"  p.  708,  says  he  studied  with  Judge  Joseph  W.  Newcomb 
and  E.  H.  Wills.  In  any  case  immediately  after  admission  to  the  bar 
he  associated  himself  in  professional  business  with  Mr.  Blake,  which 
connect,ion  continued  until  April,  1814.  In  1818  he  was  appointed 
County  attorney,  succeeding  Mr.  William-Charles  White,  which  office 
he  filled  with  ability  and  resigned  in  1825.  He  was  representative  in 
the  General  Court  in  1829,  1830  and  1831,  and  State  senator  in  1834. 
In  1826  he  formed  a  partnership  with  his  brother-in-law,  William  Lin- 
coln, aacbc  j,  which  lasted  until  the  latter's  death  in  1843.  In  1842 
he  was  appointed  a  commissioner  in  bankruptcy  and  held  the  office  until

the  law  was  repealed  under  which  the  appointment  was  made.  He  had 
great  equanimity  of  character,  and  never  lost  or  gained  a  case  but  the 
result  was  precisely  what  he  expected.  Hence  he  was  perfectly  satisfied 
with  the  result  of  every  case.  He  was  honest,  confiding  and  capable, 
and  discharged  all  the  duties  pertaining  to  his  various  offices  with  ability 
and  fidelity,  and  to  the  entire  satisfaction  of  his  constituents.  He  was 
an  occasional  writer  in  the  Federal  papers,  and  an  oration  delivered  by 
him,  July  4,  1814,  to  the  citizens  of  Worcester  was  published.  He  was 
for  forty-seven  years  a  member  of  the  Worcester  Fire  Society,  a  social 
organization,  and  was  long  a  member  and  officer  of  the  American  Anti- 
quarian Society.  He  was  grandson  of  John  Newton  who  was  from 
Durham,  Conn.,  and  married  a  Pickett.  (Waldo  Genealogy,  p.  278;

(Quincy  Records  and  Records  of  Frederic- Walker  Lincoln, 
aacbe  da,  but  Boston  Records  say  Jan.  19,  and  another  record 
says  the  15th.)  When  a  young  man  he  was  apprenticed  to 
Thomas  Crafts  of  Boston  to  learn  the  carpenter  trade,  and  with 
young  Thomas  Crafts  took  part  in  the  '' Boston  Tea  Party." 
They  obtained  their  disguises  through  the  assistance  of  the 
senior  Mr.  Crafts  who,  it  is  said,  at  family  prayers  that  night 
prayed  for  ''the  young  men  out  on  their  perilous  errand. '^  At 
the  breaking  out  of  the  Revolution,  Lincoln  was  commissioned, 
May  10,  1776,  lieutenant  in  the  artillery  company  commanded 
by  Thomas  Crafts,  Jr. ;  was  promoted  to  be  captain  and  continued 
in  the  service  until  Feb.  26,  1779,  when,  in  company  with  the 
other  officers  of  the  regiment,  he  resigned  for  the  reason  that  the 
legislature  had  failed  to  redress  their  grievances.  March  23, 1779, 
he  was  commissioned  captain  in  the  corps  of  artillery  commanded 
by  Col.  Paul  Revere,  and  continued  in  that  service  until  May  4, 
1780.     Meanwhile  he  was  commissioned,  Apr.  9,  1780,  captain 


FIFTH    GENERATION  165 

of  a  company  of  matrosses  and  was  discharged  Aug.  21,  1783, 
after  a  service  of  thirty-nine  months,  fifteen  days,  thus  having 
seen  almost  unbroken  service  for  over  seven  years.  (Mass. 
Soldiers  and  Sailors  in  Rev.  War,  vol.  ix,  p.  799.)  During  this 
service  he  was  at  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill  attached  to  Stark's 
regiment;  was  in  the  actions  at  Bennington,  Brandy  wine  and 
Monmouth;  and  was  at  one  time  aid  to  Governor  Hancock.  He 
commanded  the  company  at  Fort  Independence  which  fired  the 
salute  at  the  first  celebration  of  Independence  Day  in  Boston, 
July  4,  1777.  At  the  close  of  the  war  he  returned  to  his  trade  of 
carpenter  and  was  master-workman  at  the  erection  of  the  State 
House  on  Beacon  Hill.  He  Hved  at  Boston  until  near  the  end 
of  his  life,  when  he  removed  to  Quincy.  (Crafts  Family,  p.  74;

Revere,  p.  647.) 

He  married  (1),  Jan.  14,  1781,  perhaps  at  Boston  where  his 
intentions  were  recorded  in  November,  1780,  Deborah,  daughter 
of  Paul  and  Sarah  (Orne)  Revere  of  Boston,  born  Apr.  3,  1758, 
at  Boston;  died  Jan.  3,  1797,  at  Boston.  (Life  of  Paul  Revere, 
p.  25,  but  the  records  of  Frederic-Walker  Lincoln  give  the  dates 
Apr.  8,  and  Jan.  8,  respectively.) 

He  married  (2),  his  intentions  being  recorded  at  Boston  May 
24,  1797,  Elizabeth  Revere,  sister  of  his  first  wife,  born  Dec.  5, 
1770,  at  Boston;  died,  say  the  Family  records,  Apr.  11,  1805, 
at  Boston,  but  Boston  records  say  Apr.  12. 

He  married  (3),  July  26,  1805,  intentions  recorded  at  Boston, 
July  4,  Mrs.  Martha  (Howard)  Robb  of  Boston,  whose  parentage 
has  not  been  learned  but  who  was  widow  of  Thomas  Robb,  whose 
intentions  to  marry  Patty  Howard  were  pubUshed  at  Boston, 
June  9,  1785.  He  was  born  Nov.  5,  1757,  at  Boston,  the  son  of 
James  Robb,  whose  wife  is  called  in  Boston  records  Ann  Tolait, 
which  is  thought  to  be  intended  for  Fleet.  Thomas  and  Martha 
Robb  had  a  daughter  Martha,  whose  will  recorded  in  Suffolk 
County  Probate  Registry,  vol.  cccclxxxi,  p.  27,  names  many

was  appointed  administrator  on  his  estate.  (Plymouth  County- 
Probate  Records,  vol.  Ixi,  p.  274.)  He  was  a  printer  but  in  a  deed

brother,  Jedediah  Lincoln  of  Boston,  housewright,  one  half 
part  of  a  division  house  near  Cross  street,  Boston,  "part  of  the

3,  1819  aged  25."  This  is  probably  an  error  of  name  and  date  for  George.

he  had  gone  to  attend  a  meeting  of  the  Governor's  Council,  of 
which  he  was  a  member.  He  removed  to  Worcester,  Mass.,  soon 
after  his  brother  Levi,  and  became  an  apothecary,  generally 
going  under  the  title  of  "  Doctor.''  "  Carl's  Tour  in  Main  Street,"

and  Adeline  L.  Riddle;  son  Charles- Wisner  Riddle;  wife  Frances-Eliza  Riddle.  (Suffolk  County 
Probate  Records,  vol.  dcccxcv,  p.  18.)  The  following  obituary  is  from  the  Boston  "Transcript" : 
"There  passed  away  from  this  world  on  Feb.  8  one  of  those  faithful  souls  whose  modesty 
prevented  his  real  worth  from  being  known  to  all  except  those  few  whose  privilege  it  was  to 
meet  him  intimately.  Charles-Lincoln  Riddle  was  born  on  Dec.  7,  1830.  His  mother  was  Mary 
Lincoln,  the  eldest  grandchild  of  Paul  Revere,  whose  sterling  character  of  justice,  faithfulness 
and  uprightness  were  easily  discernible  in  his  great-grandson,  Charles  L.  Riddle.  Mr.  Riddle 
entered  the  Webster  Bank  the  day  it  opened  for  business  in  1853,  and  remained  a  faithful 
servant  of  the  institution,  until  it  was  merged  with  the  Atlas  Bank,  in  1904 — a  period  of  51 
years — when  he  retired  from  active  business.  One  of  Mr.  Riddle's  business  friends  remarked  of 
him  that  no  man  of  more  sterling  integrity  was  ever  seen  on  State  street.  In  1904  he  celebrated 
the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  his  marriage  with  Frances  E.  Field,  a  daughter  of  the  late  Barnum 
Field,  a  prominent  Boston  teacher.  He  died  as  he  lived,  quietly  and  peacefully,  and  the  memory 
of  his  life  is  the  best  legacy  he  could  have  left  to  his  family  and  friends."  He  had  the  family 
Bible  of  Jedediah  Lincoln.

now  terminates  in  front  of  the  court  houses.  It  was  then  a 
grocery;  but  my  father  said  that  it  had  been  noted  for  many 
years  in  his  day  as  the  headquarters  of  the  democratic  poHticians 
of  Worcester.  Dr.  Abraham  Lincoln,  he  said,  kept  an  apothecary 
shop  there,  and  there  the  poHtics  of  the  day  were  discussed. 
My  father  said  that  Dr.  Lincoln  loved  politics  and  segars  equally 
well;  and  all  day  long  he  would  sit  with  his  heels  up,  smoking  his 
much  loved  'Indian  weed.' " 

Under  the  federal  administration  of  President  Adams  Mr. 
Lincoln  was  supervisor  of  the  revenue  for  Worcester  county. 
About  1801  he  became  attached  to  the  dominant  anti-federal 
party  and  was  placed  at  the  head  of  the  municipal  concerns  of 
the  town  as  chairman  of  the  selectmen,  a  station  to  which  he 
was  annually  elected  from  1809  to  1824.  He  also  represented 
the  town  in  the  State  legislature,  serving  as  representative  con- 
tinuously from  1809  to  1823,  and  the  last  year  was  elected  to  the 
State  senate.  In  1820  in  company  with  his  nephew,  Levi  Lincoln, 
Jr.,  and  Edward  D.  Bangs  he  was  elected  a  delegate  to  the  State 
onstitutional  convention. 

January  1,  1784,  the  following  advertisement  appeared  in  the 
''Massachusetts  Spy,"  published  at  Worcester,  probably  for  the 
first  time: 

"To  be  sold  at  J  Abraham  Lincoln's  Store  J  A  little  North 
of  the  Court  House,  J  in  Worcester,  t  A  General  assortment  t

The  following  obituary  is  from  the  "National  Aegis"  of  July  7, 
1824:  ''Mr.  Lincoln's  death  was  of  the  most  sudden  occurrence. 
He  had  been  engaged  in  the  session  of  the  Council  during  the  day, 
apparently  in  good  health  and  spirits.  Towards  evening  he 
mentioned  to  a  Friend  who  called  upon  him,  at  his  lodgings,  that 
he  had  experienced  some  degree  of  faintness,  on  going  to  the 
State  House  in  the  morning,  and  was  obliged  to  call  a  carriage, 
but  that  he  then  felt  entirely  recovered.  Almost  immediately 
and  while  in  conversation,  he  was  observed  to  be  falling,  and  in 
less  than  an  hour  was  a  corpse. 


FIFTH    GENERATION  171 

*'No  event  which  it  has  been  our  painful  affair  to  record,  has 
been  met  with  a  more  keen  sensation  of  surprise  and  distress, 
than  the  melancholy  intelligence  of  the  sudden  death  of  this 
gentleman,  by  the  Inhabitants  of  this  town.  The  expression  of 
every  countenance  upon  its  annunciation,  was  that  of  unfeigned 
sorrow  and  mourning,  and  the  deep  and  solemn  silence  of  afflicted 
feeling  testified  to  the  regard  entertained  for  his  person,  and  the 
respect  in  which  his  memory  will  long  be  cherished.  For  many 
years  the  life  of  Doct.  Lincoln  has  been  intimately  associated 
with  the  most  important  concerns  of  the  Town — He  had  long 
been,  and  was,  at  the  time  of  his  decease,  Chairman  of  the  Board 
of  Selectmen,  and  of  the  Overseers  of  the  Poor,  and  Chairman 
of  the  Board  of  Assessors.  On  almost  all  occasions  of  the  pubHc 
meetings  of  the  Citizens,  as  if  by  a  common  preference,  he  was 
made  their  presiding  officer.  He  had  repeatedly  been  elected  to 
represent  the  Town  in  the  Legislature  of  the  Commonwealth, 
and  by  the  suffrages  of  the  Representatives  of  the  whole  people, 
he  was  elevated  from  that  station,  to  a  seat  at  the  Council  Board. 
In  every  situation,  to  which  he  was  called,  he  acquired  a  reputa- 
tion for  capacity  in  business,  and  fidelity  in  its  discharge,  which 
secured  to  him  the  most  entire  and  universal  confidence.  His 
political  course  was  consistent  and  dignified, — theoretically  and 
practically  that  of  a  plain  and  inflexible  Republican.  No  man 
now  living  among  us,  has  made  such  personal  sacrifices  to  vindi- 
cate the  principles  of  the  government,  and  no  man  had  less  of 
self  in  the  accomplishment  of  poHtical  objects.  There  was  in 
him  no  indirectness  of  purpose,  no  resort  to  dishonorable  means 
of  gratification,  but  frank  and  explicit  in  the  avowal  of  his 
sentiments,  and  scrupulously  honest  in  his  conduct,  even  in 
times  of  great  excitement,  which  are  happily  past,  and  under 
circumstances  of  distressing  responsibility,  he  maintained  a 
high  degree  of  influence  with  his  political  friends,  and  enjoyed 
the  respect  of  his  political  opponents.  In  the  relations  of  private 
life,  there  are  the  poor,  and  the  afflicted.  Friends,  Neighbors,  and 
Acquaintances  to  bear  witness,  by  their  tears  of  grateful  re- 
membrance to  the  frequent  offices  of  tender  attention  and  kind- 
ness, which  his  benevolent  and  sympathetic  heart  suggested. 
By  them,  by  the  Inhabitants  of  the  Town  generally,  with  almost 
every  one  of  whom,  his  business  and  public  stations  led  to  asso-

ciation  and  intercourse,  and  by  the  people  of  the  Commonwealth 
at  large,  who  in  him  possessed  a  faithful  and  devoted  servant, 
his  death  will  bo  long  deplored,  and  his  memory  held  in  honorable 
recollection." 

The  following  characterization  is  from  ''Reminiscences  of  the 
Worcester  Fire  Society,"  series  1,  p.  30,  by  his  nephew,  Levi 
Lincoln,  Jr.:  "Instructed  in  the  knowledge  and  composition  of 
medicines  by  Dr.  Benjamin  Green,  then  a  physician  of  repute 
in  town,  he  commenced  the  business  of  a  druggist,  which,  with 
a  just  confidence,  on  the  part  of  physicians  and  others,  in  his 
skill  and  scrupulous  care,  and  honest  dealing  in  compounding 
and  dispensing,  he  continued  through  life  .  .  .  His  store 
stood  in  front  of  the  location  of  Antiquarian  Hall,  within  the 
present  line  of  the  street;  and  for  many  years  and  at  the  time 
of  his  death  he  lived  in  the  old  family  Bigelow  mansion  under 
the  hill,  nearly  opposite  the  Court  House  .  .  .  He  was  a  man 
of  warm  and  generous  feelings,  reliable  in  his  attachments,  but 
strong  in  his  prejudices.  An  active  and  influential  politician 
in  high  party  times,  with  many  devoted  party  friends  he  had 
bitter  political  opponents.  A  direct  bold  straight-forwardness, 
in  what  were  his  convictions  of  right  and  duty,  was  the  marked 
characteristic  of  his  conduct;  and  however  the  measure  which 
he  advocated  might  be  condemned  by  any,  the  sincerity  of  his 
professions,  and  his  integrity  and  personal  honor  were  never 
doubted  .  .  .  He  was  a  portly  gentleman  .  .  .  He  was 
quite  bonhommie  in  his  manner,  fond  of  fun  and  somewhat  given 
to  practical  jokes."  Mr.  Lincoln  died  intestate  and  his  estate 
was  inventoried  at  $6677.77. 

He  married,  Jan.  7,  1787,  at  Worcester,  Nancy^,  daughter  of 
Timothy^  (DanieP,  Joshua^,  John^)  and  Anna  (Andrews)  Bigelow

of  Marlborough;  New  Hampshire  Vital  Records  erroneously 
say  he  died  Oct.  23,  1830;  Ashby  Records  say  he  died  at  Ashby.) 
He  removed  first  to  Dedham,  Mass.,  and  was  living  there  at  the 
time  of  his  marriage,  but  soon  after  removed  to  East  Sudbury, 
Mass.,  now  Wayland,  and  lived  there  until  the  summer  of  1792 
when  he  removed  with  his  family  to  Marlborough,  where  he 
purchased  of  Samuel  Collins  the  Joslin  place  which,  in  1885, 
was  owned  by  Murray  Fitch.  Tradition  asserts  that  he  planted 
the  elm  tree  near  Mr.  Fitch's  house  which,  in  1885,  was  the 
most  beautiful  shade  tree  in  the  town.    He  was  a  farmer,  but  the

1854,  at  Ashby,  aged  70  years,  9  months,  13  days,  if  his  birth  is  correctly 
given  in  the  Ashby  records,  but  Massachusetts  Vital  Records  say  he  died 
Dec.  10,  1854,  aged  70  years,  10  months  and  13  days,  which  would  make 
his  birth  Jan.  27,  1784.  They  had  no  children,  but  an  adopted  son, 
Henry- Wiley  Colman,  was  living  in  1913,  at  Lynn  or  Nahant,  a  physician 
or  druggist.  Mr.  Colman's  father,  Benjamin,  sixth  child  of  James 
Colman,  was  bapt.  in  Lunenburg,  Mass.,  Aug.  3,  1749,  and  married, 
Dec.  25,  1770,  Susanna,  daughter  of  John  Martin.  Benjamin  was  a

Oct.  12,  1740,  married  Betty  Chaplin  of  Lunenburg,  March  3,  1761.  He

(Baker)  Whitcomb  of  Nelson,  N.  H.,  born  May  28,  1790,  at  Nelson;

near  the  "pine  woods,"  then  removed  to  the  place  occupied  in  1885 
by  his  daughter  Hannah.  For  forty-six  years  he  was  a  member,  and  for 
thirty-eight  years  an  officer,  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  Marl-

176  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

1763,  at  Hingham;  died  Oct.  10,  1846,  at  Perry,  Me.     (Hist,  of 
Hingham,  vol.  iii,  p.  360;  Perry  Records  say  died  September, 
1846.)     He  was  a  shipwright  by  occupation  while  he  lived  at 
Hingham,  but  at  Perry  he  must  have  devoted  most  of  his  time 
to  farming.    It  is  uncertain  just  when  he  removed  to  Perry,  but 
it  was  probably  in  the  summer  of  1797,  since  in  a  deed  dated 
May  2,  1797,  Otis  Lincoln  of  Hingham,  shipwright,  and  EHzabeth 
his  wife,  conveyed  to   Solomon  Lincoln  of    Hingham,  yeoman 
(his  brother),  land  in  Hingham,  and  also  one  undivided  half  of  a 
pew  in  the  North  Meeting  House  owned  in  common  with  Enoch 
Lincoln  (his  uncle).    (Suffolk  County  Deeds,  vol.  clxxxviii,  f.  9.) 
In  a  deed  dated  Feb.  24,  1797,  he  mentions  his  *'late  shipyard'* 
(Ibid.,  f.  239)  and  on  the  same  date  he  purchased  of  Martin 
Lincoln  of  Hingham,  paying  therefor  four  hundred  and  fifty 
pounds,  five  hundred  and  fifty  acres  of  land  ''lying  in  township 
number  one  in  the  east  division  adjoining  Passamaquoddy  bay." 
(Washington  County,  Me.,  Deeds,  vol.  iv,  f.  276.)     This  land 
had  been  purchased  by  Martin  Lincoln,  Feb.  20,  1788,  of  Benja- 
min Lincoln  of  Hingham,  Thomas  Russell  and  John  Lowell  of 
Boston  for  fifty  pounds  lawful  money.     (Ibid.,  vol.  i,  f.  121.) 
The  land  lay  at  Birch  Point  in  the  town  of  Perry  and  took  in 
all  of  the  point  south  of  what  is  now  the  county  road  going  to 
Pembroke,  and  was  well  timbered  with  hard  and  soft  wood.    He 
first  built  a  log  house  near  the  shore,  at  the  head  of  a  httle  cove 
opposite  Red  Island,  in  which  he  lived  until  1798,  when  he  built 
the  first  frame  house  on  the  point,  which  is  still  standing.    For 
twenty  years  there  were  no  roads,  and  to  reach  the  settlements 
he  was  obliged  either  to  go  by  horseback  through  the  woods  and 
round  the  shore,  or  by  water  to  Eastport,  or  Moose  Island  as 
it  was  then  called.     His  farm  is  said  to  have  contained  one 
thousand  acres;  if  so  he  must  have  added  to  his  original  purchase. 
As  his  sons  became  of  age  he  distributed  this  home  farm  among 
them  and  when  he  died  the  only  real  estate  he  owned  was  a  house 
and  lot  in  Eastport,  which  he  left  to  his  daughters.     (Ibid.,  vols. 
XX,  f.  439,  440;  xxi,  f.  441.)     He  is  described  by  one  who  knew 
him  as  ''a  fine  looking  man  fully  six  feet  tall  and  well  propor- 
tioned, and  a  good  Christian  gentleman.     In  politics  he  was  a 
very  pronounced  whig.     The  Lincoln  family  were  all  church 
going  people  and  did  a  great  deal  in  the  county  to  make  people

better/'  (Eastport  Sentinel,  March  13, 1901.)  He  does  not  seem 
to  have  been  prominent  in  town  affairs,  probably  because  he 
lived  so  far  from  the  village.  He  was  moderator  of  the  town 
meeting  held  Apr.  6,  1818,  and,  with  Moses  Lincoln  a  descendant 
from  Daniel  Lincoln,  the  sergeant,  was  chosen  assessor. 

His  will,  dated  May  3,  1845,  names:  sons  Solomon,  Otis,  Wil- 
liam, Thompson,  Robinson  and  Ezekiel;  daughters  Mary  Gard- 
ner, Ehzabeth  Applebee,  Frances  Pattangale  and  Rachel  Mason. 
His  estate  was  appraised  at  $514  real  (being  the  estate  in  East- 
port),  and  S1261  personal.    (Washington  County  Probate  Files.) 

No  record  of  his  marriage  has  been  found  but  it  probably  took 
place  in  Nova  Scotia,  as  his  wife  was  a  native  of  that  country. 
Many  of  the  young  men  in  Hingham  went  on  fishing  voyages, 
even  when  regularly  employed  in  other  pursuits,  and  the  inter- 
course between  Massachusetts  Bay  towns  and  Nova  Scotia  was 
uninterrupted.  Probably  on  one  of  these  trips  Mr.  Lincoln 
saw  and  married  his  wife,  and  perhaps  lived  in  Nova  Scotia  for 
a  time,  as  the  birthplace  of  his  first  three  children  is  uncertain 
and  Solomon,  the  second  child,  is  said  to  have  been  born  in 
that  Province. 

He  married,  about  1789,  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Archibald 
Thompson  of  Conomy,  Nova  Scotia,  born  June  3,  1771,  at 
Conomy  or  Truro,  N.  S.;  died  Feb.  25,  1842,  at  Perry.  (Perry 
Records  and  Gravestone.)  The  following  letter  from  Mrs. 
Lincoln's  brother  tells  all  that  has  been  learned  of  the  Thompson 
family: 

''Conomy  August  18th,  1815

at  Hingham;  died  May  28,  1857,  at  Nantucket,  Mass.  ''He  was 
fitted  for  college,  partly  at  the  grammar  school  in  Hingham  under 
the  instruction  of  Eleazer  James,  and  partly  by  Dr.  Joshua 
Barker  of  Hingham.  He  graduated  at  Harvard  in  1786  and 
afterwards  studied  divinity  with  Rev.  William  Shaw  of  Marsh- 
field,  Mass.  He  was  ordained  pastor  of  the  Congregational 
church  in  Falmouth,  Mass.,  Feb.  3,  1790;  and  continued  his 
labors  there  with  great  fideHty,  and  to  the  entire  acceptance 
of  his  people,  until  Nov.  26,  1823,  when,  at  his  own  request,  his 
pastoral  connection  was  dissolved,  and  he  removed  to  Nan- 
tucket, where  he  resided  during  the  remainder  of  his  life,  in  the 
family  of  his  son-in-law,  Dr.  Elisha-Pope  Fearing. 

"He  was  at  the  time  of  his  death,  with  one  exception,  the 
oldest  clergyman  in  Massachusetts.  Mr.  Lincoln  was  a  gentle- 
man of  the  old  school,  of  fine  personal  appearance,  always  re- 
markably neat  in  his  dress,  of  an  affable  and  social  disposition, 
and,  above  all,  a  sincere  Christian.  For  a  few  years  before  his 
death,  his  eyes  were  dimmed,  so  that  he  was  unable  to  read; 
but  his  mental  faculties  were  unclouded  to  the  last.  He  was  a 
bighly  popular  preacher,  a  fine  speaker;  and  his  sermons  were 
3haracterized  by  sound,  practical,  good  sense. '^  (Necrology  of 
Mumni  of  Harvard  College,  p.  106;  Freeman's  Hist,  of  Cape

at  Hingham;  died  Dec.  21,  1831,  at  Hingham.  He  was  a  farmer 
and  lived  on  North  street,  Hingham,  near  Fountain  square. 
He  seems  to  have  held  no  civil  office,  but  during  the  war  of  1812, 
when  a  military  spirit  was  much  in  evidence,  although  there 
were  four  militia  companies  in  Hingham,  the  citizens  exempted 
by  law  from  military  duty  formed  themselves  into  three  com- 
panies of  infantry  and  one  of  artillery,  the  whole  constituting  a 
battalion,  and  in  one  of  these  companies,  the  North  Ward, 
Solomon  Lincoln  held  the  office  of  ensign.  It  does  not  appear 
that  these  companies  were  ever  called  upon  for  active  service, 
even  at  the  time  of  the  Cohasset  alarm. 

Mr.  Lincoln's  will,  dated  Apr.  2, 1825,  probated  March  6, 1832, 
calls  him  ''yeoman"  and  names:  wife  Lydia;  sons  William-Otis 
and  Solomon.  (Plymouth  County  Probate  Records,  vol.  Ixxii, 
p.  73.) 

He  married,  Oct.  4,  1791,  at  Hingham,  Lydia^  daughter  of 
Jesse^  (Cale¥,  Cale¥,  Joseph'^,  Clement^)  and  Abigail  (Barnes) 
Bates  of  Hingham,  born  Feb.  22,  1772,  at  Hingham;  died  May  7, 
1853,  at  Hingham.  Her  paternal  ancestor,  Clement  Bates, 
embarked  at  London  for  New  England,  Apr.  6,  1635,  with  his 
wife  Anna  and  five  children.  He  went  to  Hingham  about  the 
time  that  Rev.  Peter  Hobart  arrived  there  and  received  a  grant 
of  land  on  Town,  now  South  street,  Sept.  18,  1635.  On  her 
mother's  side  she  was  descended  from  another  early  Hingham 
settler,  Thomas  Barnes,  who  had  a  grant  of  land  in  1637,  on 
Bachelor,  now  Main  street,  containing  three  acres.  (Hist,  of

hasset records  but  '^ Cohasset  Genealogies"  says  Dec.  2,  Betsy^

ahaeg,  and  daughter  of  Galen^  (Thomas^,  Thomas^,  Francis^,

Jan.  3,  1812,  at  Boston,  unmarried,  and  was  buried  in  lot  No.  42,  Copps 
Hill  burying  ground,  aged  25  years.  "Cohasset  Genealogies,"  p.  240,  in 
marrying  him  to  Betsey  Fillebrown  has  confused  him  with  Ezekiel,  son  of 
Frederick  Lincoln  of  Weymouth,  aabce  c.  It  gives  the  date  of  his  death  as 
Dec.  30,  1811,  which  is  probably  correct,  the  date  given  in  Boston  records 
being,  very  likely,  the  date  of  his  burial.

and  was  carried  to  England,  where  he  was  placed  in  Dartmoor

bay  to  Gloucester,  all  the  men  being  away  at  the  siege,  and 
obtaining  the  needed  supplies  there  successfully  ran  the  blockade 
back  to  Cohasset.    (Tower  Genealogy,  p.  157.)

east  side  of  the  Common,  in  a  house  built  by  his  father  partly

son  of  Isaac^  (William*,  Gershom^,  Thomas'^,  Thomas^)  and  Tamsen 
(Hayden)  Collier  of  Scituate,  Mass.,  born  Aug.  29, 1775,  at  Scituate;  died 
Aug.  15,  1850,  at  Scituate.  His  ancestor,  Thomas^  Collier,  was  one  of  the 
early  planters  at  Hingham  and  had  a  lot  of  five  acres  granted  him  on  what 
is  now  West  street,  Sept.  18,  1635.  (Hist,  of  Hingham,  vol.  ii,  p.  135.) 
Mr.  Collier  was  a  mariner,  ship  owner  and  trader.  He  lived" at  Cohasset, 
on  Elm  street,  until  1845  when  he  returned  to  Scituate  and  passed  the 
rest  of  his  life  there.  In  1803  he  was  owner  and  captain  of  the  "Light 
HoFse";  in  18,06  he  commanded  the  "William  Tell"  of  Scituate,  a  vessel 
of  258  tons  in  which  he  perhaps  visited  Antwerp,  as  his  portrait,  painted 
in  that  city  at  about  that  time,  is  still  in  the  possession  of  his  grandchil- 
dren. Later  he  bought  a  wharf  in  Cohasset  and  became  a  vessel  owner  as 
well  as  master,  as  in  1814  the  schooner  "Little  Sarah"  was  registered  at 
the  Boston  Custom  House  with  James  Collier  as  builder,  owner  and 
master.  In  1821  he  was  again  registered  as  her  captain,  and  in  1824  of 
the  "Young  James."  These,  like  the  "EHzabeth,"  built  in  1829,  were 
named  for  his  children.  Not  wishing  his  sons  to  follow  the  sea,  he  gave 
four  of  them  trades,  which  they  promptly  put  aside  and  became  sailors 
and  master-mariners.  Interesting  accounts  of  the  careers  of  three  of 
them,  George,  James  and  Christopher,  with  their  portraits,  may  be  found 
in  "Cohasset  Genealogies."  (Cohasset  Records;  Scituate  Records;

adaaa.  Abraham,  son  of  John  (Mordecai,  Mordecai,  Samuel) 
f  and  Rebecca  ( [Flowers]  Morris)  Lincoln  of  Rockingham  county,

May  7,  1785,  and  Oct.  14,  1788,*  probably  in  Jefferson  county, 
Ky.,  having  been  killed  by  Indians,  as  will  be  related  later.  He 
accompanied  his  father  to  Virginia  and  was,  as  early  as  1770,  a 
1  captain  in  the  Virginia  militia.  He  is  also  called  ''captain"  at  a 
court-martial  held  in  Staunton,  Va.,  in  1776,  and  his  name 
appears  as  ''captain"  in  the  Augusta  county  records  in  1777,  and 
in  the  Rockingham  county  records  in  1779.  (Virginia  Militia 
in  the  Revolution,  pp.  183,  230-3.)  Whether  he  was  in  active 
service  in  the  Revolution  is  uncertain. 

He  received  from  his  father,  Aug.  12,  1773,  a  gift  of  two  hun- 
dred and  ten  acres  of  land  on  Linville's  creek,  being  a  portion  of 
his  father's  original  purchase,  and  acquired  fifty-two  adjoining 
acres  by  purchase.  This  farm  he  and  his  wife,  Bathsheba,  sold 
Feb.  18,  1780,  being  about  to  remove  to  Kentucky  where,  ac- 

*As  this  book  goes  to  press,  word  comes  from  Rev.  Louis  A.  Warren  that  he  has  found  a 
document  in  the  Nelson  County,  Ky.,  court  house  stating:  "Abraham  Lincoln  departed  this 
life  in  May,  1786."

194  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

cording  to  Daniel  Boone's  Survey  Book,  now  owned  by  the  Wis- 
consin Historical  Society,  he  had  made  an  entry  of  one  thousand 
acres  of  land  as  early  as  July,  1776.  He  received  for  his  Vir- 
ginia farm  five  thousand  pounds,  current  money  of  Virginia, 
which  sum,  according  to  Miss  Tarbell,  was  then  equivalent  to 
about  seventeen  thousand  dollars,  but  this,  of  course,  was  paper 
money.  In  the  deed  conveying  this  farm  the  name  of  Abraham's 
wife  is  spelled  indifferently  Bershaba,  Bashaba,  Bathshaba, 
Bathshabe  and  Bathsheba,  and  she  signed  herself  ''Batsab 
Lincon."  This  deed  was  recorded  June  17,  1780,  but  without 
the  privy  examination  and  renunciation  of  dower  by  the  wife, 
as  the  law  required.  More  than  a  year  later,  Sept.  8,  1781,  a 
commission  was  issued  for  her  examination,  she  being  **  unable 
to  travel  to  our  sd  County  Court  of  Rockingham."  In  this 
commission  she  is  thrice  called  '' Barbara,"  but  in  the  report  of 
the  commissioners  and  its  record,  dated  Sept.  24,  she  is  called 
^'Barshaba"  and  ''Bershebe."  (Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln, 
pp.  187-191;  Abraham  Lincoln,  An  American  Migration,  118- 
127.) 

Just  when  Abraham  removed  to  Kentucky  is  uncertain,  but  he 
probably  went  there  immediately  after  selling  his  Virginia  farm, 
as  on  March  4,  1780,  he  paid  into  the  public  treasury  of  Ken- 
tucky one  hundred  and  sixty  pounds  for  Land  Office  Warrant 
No.  3334,  which  entitled  him  to  four  hundred  acres  of  land  and, 
on  the  same  date,  secured  two  other  warrants,  Nos.  3333  and  3335, 
which  entitled  him  to  eight  hundred  acres  more,  for  which  he 
presumably  paid  twice  as  much  or  three  hundred  and  twenty 
pounds.  The  first-named  warrant  is  preserved  in  the  collection 
of  R.  T.  Durrett  of  Louisville,  Ky.,  now  owned  by  the  University 
of  Chicago,  and  is  reproduced  on  page  22  of  *'The  Early  Life  of 
Abraham  Lincoln"  by  Miss  Ida  M.  Tarbell.  The  field  notes  of 
the  survey  under  this  warrant,  reproduced  on  page  23  of  the 
same  work,  are  dated  May  7,  1785,  and  are  signed  by  *' Ananiah" 
and  "Josiah  Lincoln,  C.  C."  (chain  carriers),  and  by  ''Abraham 
Lincoln,  marker.'^  Under  these  warrants  grants  were  made  to 
Abraham  Lincoln  as  follows: 

"By  virtue  of  treasury  warrants  Nos.  3333  and  3335  issued

treasury  warrant  No.  5994,  five  hundred  acres  more  whose  loca- 
tion is  uncertain,  but  which  are  probably  identical  with  the  five 
hundred  acres  in  Campbell,  now  Pendleton,  county,  which 
were  not  surveyed  according  to  Nicolay  and  Hay  until  Sept. 
27,  1798,  and  patented  June  30,  1799;  and  were  sold  June  8, 
1808,  by  "Mordecai  Lincoln  heir  at  law  to  Abraham  Lincoln." 
(Washington  County  Deeds,  vol.  C,  f.  462.)  This  is  all  the  land 
in  Kentucky,  amounting  to  seventeen  hundred  acres,  of  which 
there  is  positive  evidence  of  being  owned  by  Abraham  Lincoln. 
Lea  and  Hutchinson  in  ''The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln" 
credit  him  with  thirty-two  hundred  acres  ''of  the  finest  farming 
land  in  the  world,"  but  of  these  the  ownership  of  one  thousand 
acres  is  problematical,  and  five  hundred  acres  are  clearly  counted 
twice,  while  the  description  is  purely  imaginary  and  may  or 
may  not  be  true. 

If  Lincoln  went  to  Kentucky  in  1780,  he  probably  went  alone 
to  look  up  a  desirable  place  to  live,  and  having  selected  two  loca- 
tions, undoubtedly  under  the  advice  of  his  friend  and  kinsman 
Daniel  Boone,  returned  to  Virginia  to  escort  his  family  to  their 
new  home.  Their  removal  was  certainly  postponed  until  after 
Sept.  8,  1781,  when  his  wife  was  visited  at  her  home  in  Rocking- 
ham county  by  a  commission  to  obtain  her  renunciation  of 
dower,  and  may  have  been  deferred  until  October,  1784,  when, 
as  has  been  shown,  the  lot  on  Green  river  was  surveyed.  They 
had  certainly  removed  before  May  7,  1785,  the  date  of  survey 
of  the  land  in  Jefferson  county,  for  Abraham  himself  was  the 
marker  in  this  survey  and  his  son  Josiah  was  one  of  the  chain 
carriers.  This  makes  it  fairly  certain  that  he  made  his  new  home 
on  this  latter  tract,  which  was  situated  a  few  miles  from  the 
present  city  of  Louisville,  rather  than  on  the  larger  tract  in 
Lincoln  county,  for  his  son,  Josiah,  was  not  more  than  twelve 
or  thirteen  years  old  when  the  Jefferson  county  land  was  sur- 
veyed, and  if  living  in  Lincoln  county  would  hardly  have  been 
employed  so  far  from  home.  Moreover,  this  agrees  with  the 
family  tradition. 

Whatever  the  date  of  his  removal,  Lincoln  did  not  long  survive 
to  enjoy  and  improve  his  Kentucky  lands.  The  year  of  his 
death  is  as  uncertain  as  the  year  of  his  emigration,  and  has  been 
variously  given   by  historians  as  occurring  from   "soon  after 


I

1780,"  to  1788.  His  grandson,  the  President,  placed  it  from 
family  tradition  in  1784,  but  from  the  fact  that  Abraham  acted 
as  marker  in  the  survey  of  his  farm  in  May,  1785,  his  death 
must  have  occurred  after  that  date,  and  from  the  further  fact 
that  an  administrator  of  his  estate  was  appointed  Oct.  14,  1788, 
he  was  certainly  not  living  then  and  it  is  most  likely  that  his 
death  occurred  in  that  year.  Whatever  the  date,  according  to 
tradition,  which  for  want  of  better  authority  may  be  accepted 
as  true,  he  was  shot  and  instantly  killed,  while  working  in  the 
clearing  with  his  three  sons,  by  an  Indian  in  ambush.  Mordecai, 
the  oldest  son,  ran  to  the  cabin  for  his  rifle.  Josiah  ran  to  the 
nearest  fort  for  assistance,  but  Thomas,  the  youngest  boy, 
remained  near  his  father  and  was  on  the  point  of  being  seized 
by  an  Indian  when  Mordecai,  who  had  secured  his  gun,  shot  the 
Indian  through  the  heart  and  Thomas  escaped  to  the  cabin. 
Assistance  arriving  soon  after  from  the  fort,  the  remaining 
Indians  were  driven  away  and  the  family  rescued. 

Mr.  R.  T.  Durrett  of  Louisville  gave  to  Miss  Tarbell  for  her 
"Early  Life  of  Abraham  Lincoln"  a  so-called  copy  of  the  ap- 
pointment, by  the  Nelson  county  court,  Oct.  10,  1788  [sic], 
of  an  administrator  of  Mr.  Lincoln's  estate  and  of  four  apprais- 
ers, some  of  whose  names  are  incorrectly  given.  He  furnished 
also  a  copy  of  the  appraisal,  dated  March  10,  1789,  in  which 
some  unimportant  errors  appear.  Miss  Tarbell  does  not  state 
where  Mr.  Durrett  obtained  the  copy  of  the  appointment  of  the 
administrators  and  appraisers,  but  as  it  differs  in  several  par- 
ticulars from  the  original,  a  certified  copy  has  been  obtained 
from  the  Nelson  county  clerk  which  is  as  follows:

There  is  no  known  reason  why  administration  should  have 
been  granted  in  Nelson  county,  if  Lincoln  was  living  at  the  time 
of  his  death  in  Jefferson  county,  and  was  killed  there.  No 
record  has  as  yet  been  found  of  his  owning  land  in  Nelson  county, 
nor  of  any  act  of  his  administrator  in  settlement  of  his  estate 
in  any  county  after  the  appraisal  of  his  personal  estate,  which  is 
dated  March  10,  1789.  His  widow,  Bathsheba,  removed  to 
Washington  county,  which  adjoins  Nelson  county,  with  her 
children  after  his  death.  If  she  had  any  dower  rights  they  ap- 
parently were  not  enforced,  as  all  the  land  records  found  confirm 
the  tradition  that  the  oldest  son,  Mordecai,  inherited  all  his 
father's  lands,  to  the  exclusion  of  the  other  children  and  the 
widow,  under  the  existing  laws  of  primogeniture. 

The  following  appraisal  of  the  personal  estate  is  from  a  careful 
copy,  by  the  compiler  of  this  genealogy,  of  the  original  record  at 
Bardstown.     (Appraisements,  vol.  i,  p.  48.)

200  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

(Bdhucl^f  Jofm^)  Herring  of  Bridgcwater,  Va.,  whose  birth  and 
death  have  not  been  learned.  The  marriage  Hcense  is  printed 
in  ''Abstracts  from  the  Records  of  Augusta  County,"  vol.  ii, 
p.  277,  but  unfortunately  the  name  of  the  bride  is  not  given 
In  claiming  that  her  name  was  Bathsheba  Herring  the  writer  is 
aware  that  he  is  contradicting  every  biographer  of  President 
Lincoln  since  Nicolay  and  Hay,  on  the  authority  of  Hon.  J.  L. 
Nail  of  Missouri,  first  claimed  that  Abraham  Lincoln  married 
Mary  Shipley  and  that  she  was  the  mother  of  his  children.  Mr. 
J.  Henry  Lea,  in  searching  for  data  for  "The  Ancestry  of  Abra- 
ham Lincoln,"  seems  to  have  been  the  first  to  notice  that  in  the 
deed  by  which  Abraham  sold  his  lands  in  Virginia,  his  wife  is 
called  Bathsheba,  but  he  did  not  learn  of  the  record  of  Abraham's 
marriage  license,  and  accepted  too  hastily  unsupported  state- 
ments as  to  the  dates  of  birth  of  Abraham  and  his  children. 
On  the  facts  as  he  had  them  Lea  concluded  that  Mary  Shipley 
was  Abraham's  first  wife  and  the  mother  of  four  of  his  children; 
that  she  died  about  1778;  that  Abraham  married  Bathsheba 
Herring  as  his  second  wife  about  1779,  and  that  she  was  the 
mother  of  Thomas  who.  Lea  claimed,  was  born  Jan.  20,  1780, 
ignoring  the  age  which  President  Lincoln  in  his  family  Bible 
ascribed  to  his  father  at  his  death,  which  would  place  Thomas's 
birth  on  Jan.  6,  1778,  and  apparently  ignorant  that  Nancy,  the 
youngest  child  of  Abraham,  was  born  March  25,  1780.  Mr. 
Lea  assumed  that  it  was  Bathsheba's  confinement  with  Thomas 
in  January,  1780,  which  accounted  for  her  inability  to  attend 
the  County  Court  in  February,  1780,  and  in  September,  1781. 
He  expresses  a  doubt  whether  she  ever  went  to  Kentucky  and 
survived  her  husband,  for  the  reason  that,  as  the  mother  of 
Thomas,  she  would  have  defended  that  youth  from  the  abuse 
and  neglect  which,  according  to  tradition,  he  suffered  at  the 
hands  of  his  elder  brothers. 

Honorable  J.  L.  Nail  of  Carthage,  Mo.,  the  great-grandson 
of  Abraham  Lincoln  by  his  younger  daughter,  Nancy,  persuaded 
Nicolay  and  Hay  that  Abraham  married  Mary  Shipley.  Mr. 
Nail's  sister,  Mrs.  Louise  Hardaway  of  Jasper,  Mo.,  informed 
the  writer  that  ''she  remembers  very  distinctly  her  great-grand- 
mother Lincoln  who  lived  to  be  near  one  hundred  years  old) 
and  died  at  the  house  of  her  daughter  Nancy,  and  is  buried  ini 


FIFTH    GENERATION  201 

Mill  Creek  grave  yard  in  Hardin  county,  Kentucky,  but  no 
stone  marks  her  grave."  Mrs.  Hardaway  was  not  positive  that 
Abraham's  wife  was  named  Mary,  but  that  was  the  impression 
which  she  always  had,  and  she  was  certain  that  it  was  not  Bath- 
sheba  but  that,  whatever  her  name,  she  was  the  mother  of  all 
the  children.  Major  George  Chrisman  of  Rockingham  county, 
Va.,  informed  the  writer  that  his  great  aunt,  Betsy  Herring,  a 
maiden  lady  and  a  niece  of  Leonard  Herring  the  reputed  father 
of  Bathsheba,  always  said  that  Mordecai  Lincoln  was  son  of 
Abraham  and  Bathsheba.  This  was  confirmed  by  Mr.  John 
Herring,  a  cousin  of  Major  Chrisman. 

To  reconcile  these  conflicting  statements  it  was,  until  recently, 
the  theory  of  the  writer  that  Bathsheba  was  Abraham's  first 
wife  and  the  mother  of  all  his  children;  that  she  fell  ill  after  the 
birth  of  her  youngest  child,  Nancy,  which  occurred  March  25, 
1780,  from  which  illness  she  died  soon  after  renouncing  her 
dower  rights;  that  Abraham,  having  sold  his  Virginia  farm  and 
purchased  lands  in  Kentucky,  to  which  he  had  made  all  prepara- 
tions to  remove,  found  himself  a  widower  with  five  children, 
two  of  whom  were  in  absolute  need  of  a  mother's  care,  and  that 
he  therefore  married  for  a  second  wife,  and  probably  before 
leaving  for  Kentucky,  Mary  Shipley,  who  was  therefore  the 
step-mother  of  all  the  children  but  was  looked  upon  by  the 
younger  children  as  their  own  mother,  Nancy  certainly  being 
able  to  remember  no  other. 

This  theory  has  been  proved  false,  just  as  this  book  is  going 
to  press,  by  the  recent  discovery,  among  some  old  papers  in 
the  Kentucky  State  Capitol  at  Frankfort,  of  a  number  of  early 
tax  lists  including  those  for  Washington  county  for  the  years 
1792,  1795  and  1800.  These  discredit  the  statements  of  Mr. 
Nail  and  Mrs.  Hardaway  and  establish  the  fact  that  Bathsheba 
survived  her  husband  and  was  certainly  living  in  1792  in  Wash- 
ington county,  where  she  was  taxed  on  Oct.  16,  as  owning  one 
horse  and  ten  cattle  but  no  land,  and  as  having  one  white  male 
in  her  family  between  the  ages  of  16  and  21.  This  could  not 
have  been  Thomas,  who  was  but  fourteen  years  old  in  1792, 
and  must  have  been  Josiah,  proving  that  he  was  born  between 
1771  and  1776  and  not  on  July  10,  1766,  as  given  in  ''The  An- 
cestry of  Abraham  Lincoln,"  p.  84.     Mordecai,  the  oldest  son, 


202  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

was  taxed  on  the  same  day  as  his  mother,  being  designated  as  a 
white  male  above  21,  and  must  therefore  have  been  born  before 
Oct.  16,  1771.  As  he  was  taxed  for  one  hundred  acres  of  land, 
one  horse  and  two  cattle  and  he  and  his  mother  were  listed  on 
the  same  day,  it  is  safe  to  assume  that  the  family  was  living 
together,  the  mother  owning  most  of  the  live  stock.  In  1795 
the  family  had  apparently  separated,  as  Josiah  and  Thomas 
are  listed  separately  and  Bathsheba's  name  has  disappeared, 
nor  does  it  re-appear  in  the  list  for  1800.  She  may  have  removed 
from  Washington  county  or  perhaps  was  living  with  her  daugh- 
ter Mary,  or  she  may  have  died,  though  the  recollection  of  Mrs. 
Hardaway  is  that  her  great-grandmother  lived  to  a  great  age, 
in  which  she  may  be  right,  for  though  she  and  Mr.  Nail  are 
evidently  mistaken  as  to  her  name  they  may  be  correct  in  other 
particulars. 

These  tax  lists,  as  to  whose  discovery  and  contents  the  writer 
is  indebted  to  the  courtesy  of  Reverend  William  E.  Barton,  are 
of  the  utmost  importance  as  rendering  it  practically  certain  that' 
Abraham  had  but  one  wife,  whose  Christian  name  was  Bathshe- 
ba,  who  was  the  mother  of  all  his  children  and  survived  him  at 
least  until  1792.  That  her  surname  was  Herring  is  probable, 
though  her  parentage  and  descent,  as  previously  given,  are  by  no 
means  proved.  It  is  taken  from  the  account  of  the  family  in 
*'The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,"  which  seems  to  be  based 
largely  on  tradition  and  is  not  yet  supported  by  documentary 
evidence.  According  to  ''Abstracts  from  the  Records  of  Augusta 
County,"  vol.  ii,  p.  276,  Leonard  Herron  was  granted  a  marriage 
license  in  August,  1761.  This  may  have  been  a  second  marriage, 
but  if  not  he  could  not  have  had  a  daughter  old  enough  to  be 
married  in  1770.  The  condition  of  the  Rockingham  county 
records  makes  it  extremely  doubtful  that  Bathsheba's  parentage 
will  ever  be  proved.  See,  however,  a  letter  from  Charles-Griffin 
Herring  in   ''The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,"   pp.  202-3.

she  died  Oct.  7, 1843.  She  married,  Jan.  12,  1801,  in  Washington  county, 
Ky.,  Wilham,  son  of  James  and  Joanna  Brumfield  of  Washington  county, 
born  June  15,  1772;  died  May  31,  1858,  at  or  near  EHzabethtown.  He 
was  a  farmer.  They  are  buried  in  the  old  graveyard  at  Mill  creek.  The 
stone  at  Mr.  Brumfield's  grave  is  unmarked,  but  Nancy's  bears  the 
following  inscription:  "Nancy  Brumfield,  wife  of  William  Brumfield 
departed  this  Life  October  9, 1845  at  7  o'clock  aged  65  Yrs.  6  months 
14  days."  Mrs.  Abraham  Lincoln  is  said  to  have  been  buried  in  the 
same  yard,  but  no  stone  marks  her  grave. 

Nancy's  marriage  certificate  at  SpriiOjgfield,  Ky.,  reads  as  follows: 
"I  hereby  certify  that  marriage  was  solemnized  by  me  between  WiUiam

Ky.,  is  a  son  of  William-Popham  Crume.  E.  H.  Cox  of  Vine  Grove,  Ky.,  is  a  grandson  of  the 
daughter  who  married  Cox.    This  family  seems  to  be  ignorant  of  any  Lincoln  connection.

and  Rebecca  (  [Flowers]  Morris)  Lincoln  of  Linville,  Rockingham 
county,  Va.,  born  March  5,  1750,  in  Berks  county.  Pa.;  died 
June  10,  1816,  at  Watauga,  Tenn.,  ''age  about  64  years." 
August  12,  1773,  he  was  given  by  his  father  a  part  of  the  home 
farm  adjoining  that  part  given  to  his  brother  Abraham  on  the 
same  date.  He  held  the  office  of  constable  in  Augusta  county, 
Va.,  before  1773,  as  on  May  18, 1773,  Norton  Gunn  was  appointed 
constable  vice  Isaac  Lincoln.  (Abstracts  from  the  Records  of 
Augusta  County,  vols,  i,  p.  171;  iii,  p.  533.) 

Mr.  Lincoln  married  Mary  Ward,  who  was  born  about  1758 
and  died  Aug.  27,  1834,  at  Watauga,  ''age  about  76  years." 
Isaac  and  his  wife  are  buried  in  a  country  graveyard  in  Watauga 
valley,   and  their  gravestones  bear  the  following  inscriptions: 

"Sacred  J  to  the  memory  of  J  Isaac  Lincoln  J  who  departed 
this  life  June  the  10th  J  1816  J  Age  about  64  years." 

"Sacred  t  to  the  memory  of  J  Mary  Lincoln  t  who  departed 
this  life  August  27,  1834  J  age  about  76  years." 

Isaac  Lincoln  acquired  a  large  farm  in  the  Watauga  valley, 
containing  about  fifteen  hundred  acres.  He  had  no  children,  and 
he  left  all  his  property  to  his  wife,  by  whom  the  farm  was  devised 
to  her  nephew  William  Stover.  It  was  on  this  farm  that  Presi- 
dent Andrew  Johnson  died  July  31,  1875,  and  it  was  also  on  this 
farm  that  Thomas  Lincoln,  father  of  President  Abraham  Lin- 
coln, is  said  to  have  worked  as  a  farm  hand  for  his  uncle  Isaac 
and  to  have  met  and  wooed  his  first  wife,  Nancy  Hanks;  but  this 
latter  tradition  is  probably  untrue  as  there  is  no  evidence  that 
Nancy  Hanks  ever  lived  in  Tennessee.

A  letter  written  by  James-Hamilton  Lincoln,  adaaf  ac,  dated 
Chattanooga,  Tenn.,  Jan.  13,  1887,  has  the  following  account  of 
Isaac's  family  : 

"He  lived  in  upper  East  Tennessee,  I  cannot  say  what  County 
.  .  .  had  only  one  child,  a  son,  and  when  the  little  fellow  was 
three  years  old,  one  day  his  father  had  gone  to  the  sugar  orchard 
and  the  boy  tried  to  follow  him.  This  was  the  last  that  was  ever 
heard  of  him.  Some  people  living  across  the  river  from  where  he 
lived  thought  for  several  days  that  they  could  hear  the  crying  of 
a  child  very  indistinctly,  but  not  knowing  of  a  child  being  lost 
paid  no  attention  to  it.  Several  years  afterwards  the  bones  of  a 
child  were  found  in  a  cave,  corresponding  in  size  to  the  lost  boy. 
This  was  all  that  was  ever  known  about  it,  and  this  was  the  last 
of  Isaac  Lincoln's  family.^   He  never  had  any  other  children." 

adaae.  Jacob,  son  of  John  {Mordecai,  Mordecai,  Samuel)  and 
Rebecca  ( [Flowers]  Morris)  Lincoln  of  Rockingham  county,  Va., 
born  Nov.  6,  1751,  at  Carnarvon,  Pa.,  probably;  died  Feb.  20, 
1822,  at  Linville's  Creek,  Va.  These  dates  are  from  Jacob's  Bible 
and  his  gravestone.  The  record  in  his  son  Abraham's  Bible  says 
he  was  born  Aug.  18,  1751,  and  died  Jan.  20,  1822.  He  was  a 
lieutenant  in  the  Continental  army  during  the  Revolution,  for 
which  office  he  qualified  March  26,  1781.  (Abstracts  from  the 
Records  of  Augusta  County,  vol.  ii,  p.  367;  Hist,  of  Rockingham 
County,  p.  84.)  He  accompanied  his  father  to  Virginia  and 
passed  the  rest  of  his  life  there  at  Linville's  Creek,  his  farm  ad- 
joining that  on  which  his  father  lived  at  his  death,  though  it  is 
not  known  how  he  came  into  possession  of  it  as  he  did  not  inherit 
it  from  his  father,  though  he  may  have  received  it  from  him  as  a 
gift.  After  his  marriage  he  built  a  small  log  house  where  he  left 
his  wife  while  he  served  in  the  army.  Later  he  built  a  fine  brick 
house  not  far  from  the  log  cabin,  which  is  still  standing,  though 
not  in  the  possession  of  a  descendant. 

He  married,  Aug.  29,  1780,  in  Rockingham  county  (Hist,  of 
Rockingham  County),  Dorcas,  daughter  of  David  and  Dorcas 
Robinson  of  Rockingham  county,  born  March  15,  1763,  at  Lin- 
ville's Creek;  died  there  Jan.  25,  1840.  ''Dorcas  Robertson

and  all  my  household  furniture.  April?,  18 IL"  (Burnt  Records, 
Rockingham  County,  vol.  i,  p.  555.)  It  is  said  that  Dorcas's 
father  was  not  pleased  with  the  marriage  and  was  not  reconciled 
to  it  until  after  the  birth  of  her  first  child.  Family  tradition  has 
it  that  it  was  a  runaway  match,  but  different  reasons  are  given 
for  this,  one  being  that  it  was  on  account  of  parental  opposition, 
another  that  the  groom  took  offense  at  the  bride's  brothers  being 
improperly  dressed  for  the  wedding  and  so  ran  off  with  her  to 
another  town. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Lincoln  are  buried  in  a  family  graveyard  on  the 
home  farm,  their  gravestones  being  thus  inscribed : 

*'To  the  t  Memory  t  of  t  Jacob  Lincoln  J  who  was  born  on

Newmarket.  He  was  the  leading  merchant  of  Newmarket.  February 
10,  1837,  John  Strayer  and  Dorcas  his  wife  of  Shenandoah  county  con- 
veyed to  Abraham  Lincoln  of  Rockingham  county,  in  consideration  of 
$2600,  money  of  Virginia,  all  their  interest  in  "land  purchased  by  Jacob 
Lincoln,  Sr.  of  Rockingham  county  of  Tanis  Vanpelt  and  on  which  said 
Jacob  lived  at  the  date  of  his  will,"  and  also  all  their  interest  in  other 
lands  and  property  which  was  to  be  divided  "equally  between  the  said 
Dorcas  Strayer,  Abigail  Coffman  and  Elizabeth  Chrisman,"  the  testator's 
three  daughters.  (Burnt  Records  of  Rockingham  County,  vol.  xii, 
p.  316.)  John  Strayer  was  a  large  landholder  and  owned  many  negro 
slaves.  His  father,  Jacob  Strayer,  died  Nov.  24,  1834,  but  his  wife's 
name  is  unknown  and  is  not  given  in  the  family  Bible,  the  records  of 
which  begin  with  the  marriage  of  John  Strayer  and  Dorcas  Lincoln. 
All  of  John  Strayer's  children,  except  the  oldest,  Mrs.  Pennybacker, 
are  buried  at  Newmarket.

born  July  15, 1755,  probably  at  Carnarvon,  Pa.;  died  July  13, 1835, 
at  Lebanon,  Ohio.  He  Hved  at  Turleytown,  Va.,  about  twelve 
miles  from  Harrisonburg,  where  he  owned  a  grist  mill  and  a  bark 
mill  which  ran  by  water,  and  a  tan  yard.  He  was  a  deputy  sur- 
veyor of  the  county  according  to  the  ''History  of  Rockingham 
County,"  which  records  on  page  106  that  ''Garvin  Hamilton  and 
Ralph  Loftus,  having  been  appointed  by  a  former  Court  to 
examine  Mr.  John  Lincoln  in  regard  to  his  abilities  as  deputy 
surveyor  of  the  County,  reported  that  they  had  found  nothing 
to  hinder  his  being  admitted  to  the  office."  He  served  on  a  jury 
26th  July  1796,  concerning  a  piece  of  land  "on  the  waters  of 
Linvill's  creek."  In  the  suit  of  Henry  Whisler  vs.  John  Lincoln, 
mention  is  made  of  a  title  bond  dated  17th  September  1799,  by 
John  Lincoln  to  Henry  Whisler  of  Rockingham,  and  a  deed,  20th 
April  1802,  by  Henry  Whisler  and  Ann  of  Rockingham  to  John 
Lincoln  for  76  acres  in  Brock's  Gap.  (Abstracts  from  the  Rec- 
ords of  Augusta  County,  vols,  i,  p.  481;  ii,  p.  186.)  He  was  one 
of  the  executors  of  his  father's  will  and  as  such  was  sued  by  his 
sister  Rebecca,  which  suit  with  the  papers  in  the  case  have  pre- 
served much  of  the  family  history,  which  would  otherwise  have 
been  lost.  About  1819,  he  removed  with  most  of  his  children  to 
Ohio,  and  bought  a  farm  of  181  acres  for  S3, 985  near  Lebanon,  at 
a  village  called  Red  Lion,  and  there  passed  the  remainder  of  his 
life.  He  carried  thither  from  Virginia  fine  fruit  trees,  one  of 
which,  a  pear  tree,  was  still  bearing  in  1907. 

He  married,  June  27,  1782  (by  the  Rev.  Mr.  Carmichael),  and

Mr.  John  Lincoln  was  a  very  devout  member  of  the  Baptist 
church  as  were  his  sons  Isaac  and  John,  as  is  shown  by  letters  to 
their  brother  Mordecai,  still  preserved  in  the  family.  His  will, 
dated  Dec.  29,  1830,  probated  Aug.  31,  1835,  is  on  record  in

was  named  Mary,  but  it  is  uncertain  whether  her  surname  was  Evans 
or  Russell.  She  died  July  28,  1821,  at  Lebanon,  having  borne  eleven

He  was  a  farmer  and  lived  at  Red  Lion,  except  for  a  short  time  at  Flat

adaaj  h.  Nancy- Ann,  born  Nov.  25,  1796;  died  Jan.  13,  1863,  probably 
at  Eaton,  Ohio;  married,  Dec.  25,  1824,  at  Lebanon  (according  to  Warren 
county,  Ohio,  records,  but  members  of  the  family  say  they  were  married  at 
Eaton),  William,  son  of  William  and  Hannah  (Evans)  Williams  of 
Lebanon,  born  Aug.  30,  1781,  probably  in  Delaware;  died  Sept.  30,  1866, 
at  Eaton.  He  was  a  farmer  and  lived  at  Eaton.  The  Williams  family 
Bible  says  that  William  Williams,  Sr.,  was  born  Aug.  26,  1733,  and  is 
buried  in  Kirby  cemetery,  near  Lebanon,  and  that  Hannah  Evans  was 
born  Dec.  28,  1747.  The  year  of  their  marriage  is  torn.  The  entry  reads 
Dec.  20,  17 — .  The  family  is  of  Welsh  descent,  but  it  is  not  known  who 
was  the  first  immigrant  or  when  he  came.  It  is  thought  that  William 
WiUiams,  Jr.,  and  his  brother  David  were  born  in  Delaware.  The  latter 
was  a  carpenter  and  helped  build  Commodore  Perry's  fleet  on  Lake 
Erie.  (Records  of  Dr.  Cassius  Mincer,  Bradford,  Ohio,  adaaf  hd.)

adaaJ  i.  Mary,  born  Dec.  18,  1798;  died  it  is  said  at  Greenville,  Tenn., 
date  unknown  but  about  1822,  certainly  before  her  father  made  his  will, 
Dec.  29,  1830,  and  without  children,  since  neither  she  nor  her  children 
are  named  in  that  will.  She  married,  May  28,  1822,  at  Lebanon,  Jacob  T. 
Wyrick  of  Tennessee,  of  whom  nothing  is  known.  (Lebanon  Records.) 
adaaf  j.  Juliana,  born  Sept.  13,  1801;  married,  Sept.  19,  1822,  at  Lebanon 
(Lebanon  Records),  Ezra  Hicks,  whose  parentage,  birth  and  death  have 
not  been  learned.  They  are  named  in  her  father's  will,  and  Ezra  Hicks 
was  one  of  the  executors.  They  lived  at  or  near  Lebanon  but  are  said 
to  have  removed  to  Putnam  county,  Ohio.  A  letter  from  John  Lincoln, 
Jun.,  to  his  brother  Mordecai,  dated  Red  Lion,  Warren  Co.,  Ohio,  Nov. 
8,  1839,  says:  "Ezra  Hicks  and  his  family  have  all  had  the  fever  ague, 
at  one  time  there  were  nine  down  at  once."  From  this  it  would  appear 
that  they  had  several  children,  but  the  names  of  three  only  have  been 
learned. 
Children : 

a.    Amanda,  never  married. 

6.     John,  lived  at  KaHda,  Ohio. 

c.     Lewis,  a  colonel  in  the  Civil  war.

adaah.  Thomas,  son  of  John  {Mordecai,  Mordecai,  Samuel) 
and  Rebecca  ( [Flowers]  Morris)  Lincoln  of  Rockingham  county, 
Va.,  born  Oct.  23,  1761,  in  Pennsylvania  probably;  died  about 
1819,  near  Lexington,  Ky.  After  his  father's  death  he  lived  with 
his  mother  on  the  home  farm,  which  he  was  to  inherit  after  her 
death,  but  about  two  years  later,  in  1791  or  1792,  the  house  with 


FIFTH    GENERATION  213 

all  its  contents  was  destroyed  by  fire  and,  soon  after,  Thomas 
decided  to  go  to  Kentucky  and  he,  therefore,  sold  his  reversiona- 
ry interest  in  the  farm  to  his  brother  Jacob.  Thomas  purchased, 
on  Nov.  14,  1792,  of  Lewis  Craig  and  EHzabeth  his  wife  290 
acres  of  land  on  the  waters  of  the  south  fork  of  Elkhorn  river, 
about  four  miles  from  Lexington,  Fayette  county,  Ky.  The 
consideration  was  £400  current  money  of  Kentucky.  (Fayette 
County  Deeds,  Bk.  3,  p.  149.)  On  this  farm  he  passed  the  re- 
mainder of  his  life. 

He  married,  Sept.  23,  1782,  in  Rockingham  county,  Elizabeth 
Casner,  whose  parentage,  birth  and  death  have  not  been  learned. 
(Hist,  of  Rockingham  County,  p.  445.)  She  is  said  to  have  been 
of  German  descent  and  to  have  possessed  a  beautiful  character. 
Her  married  life,  however,  was  not  happy,  her  husband  being,  it 
is  said,  of  intemperate  habits,  and  on  Jan.  17,  1809,  in  a  deed  of 
trust  to  John  O'Nan  of  Shelby  county,  Ky.,  their  son-in-law, 
Thomas  Lincoln  and  EHzabeth  his  wife  for  the  reason  that  ''de- 
vious controversies  has  arisen  between  'the  said  Thomas  Lincoln 
and  Elizabeth  his  wife,  in  so  much  that  the  said  Elizabeth  has 
come  to  a  final  determination  to  reside  with  her  husband  no 
longer,  and  he  the  said  Thomas  wishing  her  to  have  sufficient 
support  for  her  maintenance"  made  over  to  the  said  O'Nan  three 
slaves,  a  quantity  of  live  stock  and  farming  tools  and  much 
household  furniture,  with  bonds  for  money  and  other  property 
''for  the  special  use  and  benefit  of  my  said  wife  and  he  shall  at 
my  death  convey  the  same  to  her — or  provided  we  should  ever 
be  divorced  he  is  then  to  convey  it  to  the  said  Elizabeth  Lincoln." 
(County  Court  Records,  Bk.  D,  p.  98.)  On  the  same  date 
Thomas  Lincoln  conveyed  to  "Margaret  Onan,  EHzabeth  Rice, 
Catharine  Lincoln,  Abraham  Lincoln,  George  Lincoln,  John 
Lincoln,  David  Lincoln  and  Hannah  Lincoln  aU  of  which  being 
the  lawful  children  of  said  Thomas  and  residing  in  Fayette 
county  (except  Margaret  Onan  of  the  county  of  Shelby)  .  .  . 
all  that  .  .  .  land  ...  in  the  county  of  Fayette  on  the 
water  of  the  south  fork  of  Elkhorn  containing  290  acres  .  .  . 
it  being  the  land  the  said  Thomas  now  lives  on.  But  it  is  ex- 
pressly understood  that  the  said  Thomas  Lincoln  reserves  a  life 
interest  in  the  .  .  .  land  and  does  not  yield  possession  till  his 
decease.     (Ihid.,  p.  125.) 


214  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

Later  in  the  year  a  reconciliation  seems  to  have  been  effected 
and  an  indenture,  dated  Aug.  15,  1809,  between  Thomas  Lincoln 
and  Elizabeth  his  wife  and  David  Rice  "witnesseth  that  the  said 
Elizabeth  and  David  agree  with  said  Thomas  that  said  Elizabeth 
shall  return  to  the  farm  of  the  said  Thomas  and  bring  with  her 
ye  property  which  she  took  away  with  her  when  she  left  said 
Lincoln  .  .  .  that  said  Thomas  .  .  .  agrees  .  .  .  that  he 
.  .  .  will  receive  the  said  Elizabeth,  into  his  family  and  treat 
her  kindly  and  provide  for  her  and  the  children,  and  in  case  he 
should  fail  to  treat  his  said  wife  Elizabeth  as  a  wife  ought  to  be 
treated  said  Thomas  agrees  to  depart  from  the  family  estate  or 
farm  and  take  nothing  but  a  horse,  saddle  and  bridle  and  all  his 
clothes,  leaving  the  rest  of  the  estate  to  his  wife  and  children  and 
never  to  return  unless  by  a  consent  of  said  Elizabeth  and  David 
..."  Provision  is  further  made  in  this  indenture  for  ar- 
bitration in  case  of  any  disagreement  as  to  the  marital  behavior 
of  Thomas  or  in  case  of  the  decease  of  Elizabeth  before  her  hus- 
band. {Ibid.,  p.  255.)  How  long  this  reconciliation  lasted  does 
not  appear.  Descendants  of  the  family  say  that  Mrs.  Lincoln 
left  her  husband  and  went  to  Missouri  to  live  with  her  son  John 
and  died  near  Liberty,  Mo.  July  5,  18 15^  the  life  interest  of 
Thomas  Lincoln  in  88  acres  of  his  farm  was  attached  and  sold 
by  the  sheriff,  and  on  the  2nd  of  September  following,  Thomas 
conveyed  his  life  interest  in  the  remaining  200  acres  to  George 
Lincoln,  his  son,  and  David  Rice,  his  son-in-law.  {Ihid.,  Bk.  M, 
p.  291.) 

Mr.  Lincoln  probably  died  in  1819,  as  between  Aug.  17,  1819, 
and  Jan.  14,  1822,  all  the  children  conveyed  their  interest  in  the 
home  farm  to  Elisha  Warfield,  yet  he  may  have  died  before  June 
29,  1818,  on  which  date  Abraham  conveyed  his  share  to  his 
brother  George,  being  joined  in  this  deed  by  his  wife  Agatha. 
The  farm  is  described  as  that  ''on  which  Thomas  Lincoln  for- 
merly lived  and  was  conveyed  to  said  Abraham  by  said  Thomas 
in  conjunction  with  his  seven  other  children,  possession  to  be 
had  at  the  decease  of  said  Thomas."  {Ibid.,  Bks.  R,  p.  364;  S. 
pp.  436,  504,  506;  U,  pp.  Ill,  192,  407;  V,  p.  232.)  Mr.  Lincoln 
had  certainly  died  before  Dec.  11,  1820,  when  ''On  motion  of 
George  Lincoln,  one  of  the  children  of  Thomas  Lincoln,  de- 
ceased," commissioners  were  appointed  to  divide  the  land  in 


FIFTH    GENERATION  '  215 

Fayette  county,  which  said  decedent  conveyed  by  deed  to  his 
children,  amongst  them,  agreeably  to  said  deed.  The  whole  of 
said  children  appeared  in  court,  Hannah  Lincoln  appearing  by 
her  guardian,  and  all  consented  thereto.  (Fayette  County 
Order  Books,  vol.  4,  p.  504.) 

The  names  of  Thomas's  children  have  been  learned  from  the 
foregoing  deeds,  and  nothing  has  been  ascertained  of  any  of  the 
daughters  save  what  is  given  in  the  deeds.  It  is  presumed  that 
they  are  named  in  the  order  of  their  births  in  the  deed  by  which 
Thomas  conveyed  to  them  his  farm. 

Children,  born:  a-e  in  Rockingham  county,  Va.;  f-h  near 
Lexington,  Ky. : 

adaah  a.  Elizabeth,  married,  before  Jan.  17,  1809,  David  Rice,  who  was 
then,  and  as  late  as  Sept.  2,  1815,  living  in  Fayette  county  but,  on  Sept. 
4,  1819,  they  had  removed  to  Woodford  county,  Ky. 

adaah  b.  Margaret,  married,  before  Jan.  17,  1809,  John  Onan  of  Shelby 
county,  Ky.,  where  they  were  still  living  Sept.  9,  1819. 

adaah  c.  Catharine,  married,  between  Jan.  17,  1809,  and  Aug.  4,  1820,

ham county,  Va.  It  was  their  daughter,  EHzabeth,  who  married  Preston 
Lincoln,  adaae  ah. 

adaah  d.  Abraham.  He  married  before  June  29,  1818,  when  he,  with  his 
wife  Agatha,  living  then  in  Fayette  county,  Ky.,  sold  his  interest  in  his 
father's  estate.    He  removed  to  Clay  county.  Mo.,  in  1823. 

adaah  e.     George,  born  Apr.  15,  1792. 

adaah  f.  John.  He  was  living,  Aug.  17,  1819,  in  Missouri  and  was  ap- 
parently unmarried  then,  as  no  wife  joined  with  him  in  his  conveyance 
of  his  interest  in  his  father's  farm.  He  may,  however,  have  been  a  widower 
as  he  is  said  to  have  married  and  to  have  left  a  son,  Casner  Lincoln,  who, 
as  an  orphan,  was  brought  up  by  his  uncle  Abraham.  John  is  said  to  have 
lived  near  Liberty,  Mo.,  on  a  farm  adjoining  that  of  his  brother 
George.

conveyed  her  interest  in  that  estate),  Thomas  Gatewood  of  Fayette 
county,  Ky.  He  was  perhaps  son  of  Peter  Gatewood,  senior,  and  Sarah 
his  wife  of  Fayette  county  or,  possibly,  his  grandson.  The  will  of  Peter 
Gatewood,  sen'r,  of  Fayette  county,  dated  Jan.  15,  1821,  names:  wife 
Sarah,  daughter  Elizabeth  Gatewood,  son  Thomas  Gatewood,  son  Larkin 
Gatewood,  grandson  Nathaniel  Gatewood,  granddaughter  Roena  Gate-

216  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

adaga.  Benjamin,  son  of  Mordecai  (Mordecai,  Mordecai, 
Samuel)  and  Mary  (Webb)  Lincoln  of  Uniontown,  Fayette 
county,  Pa.,  born  Oct.  29,  1756,  in  Berks  county,  Pa.;  died  Oct. 
6,  1821,  at  North  Union,  formerly  a  part  of  Uniontown,  whither 
he  had  accompanied  his  parents  in  their  migration  from  Berks 
county.  He  was  a  farmer  and  cattle  dealer,  living  at  North 
Union  on  Hankins  farm. 

He  married,  about  1784,  probably  in  Berks  county,  Elizabeth 
Oaves  (or  Oves),  born  1766;  died  Dec.  29,  1846,  at  Dunbar,  Pa., 
aged  eighty  years.  They  are  both  buried  in  the  family  graveyard 
at  North  Union,  their  gravestones  being  inscribed  as  follows: 

''In  1  memory  of  {  Benjamin  Lincoln  J  who  departed  this  t 
life  October  6th  1821  J  aged  64  years." 

''EHzabeth  Lincoln  t  died  Dec.  29th  1846  J  aged  80  years.'' 

October  3,  1809,  Mordecai  Lincoln  and  Mary,  his  wife,  sold  to 
Benjamin  Lincoln  170^  acres  of  land,  the  same  being  part  of 
''Discord"  and  part  of  "Union  Green,"  the  former  of  which,  the 
deed  recites,  Mordecai  had  purchased  of  Isaac  and  Sarah  Pearse, 
June  9,  1791,  and  the  latter  he  had  received  by  grant  of  the  State 
of  Pennsylvania,  Aug.  23,  1791.  To  this  deed  Mary  Lincoln 
made  her  mark.  In  a  deed,  dated  Apr.  27,  1820,  by  which 
Benjamin  and  his  wife  Elizabeth  sold  part  of  "Discord,"  Eliza 
beth  made  her  mark.  (Fayette  County  Deeds,  Books  F,  p.  314 
M,  p.  496.) 

In  1821,  Mr.  Lincoln  went  west  to  buy  cattle  and  soon  after 
his  return  died  of  typhoid  fever.  Mrs.  Lincoln  then  sold  the 
Hankins  farm  and  bought  a  smaller  farm  in  Dunbar.  It  is  a 
family  tradition  that  the  family  Bible  was  burned  in  a  school 
house  fire,  where  it  had  been  kept  for  use  in  religious  services. 

The  small  farm  in  Dunbar,  which  Mrs.  Lincoln  purchased  after 
her  husband's  death,  she  bought  of  the  administrators  of  Thomas 
Davis,  March  1,  1823,  and  she  sold  it,  Jan.  12,  1830,  for  four 
hundred  dollars  to  her  son  Mordecai.     (Ibid.,  Bk.  R,  p.  345.) 

By  the  census  of  1790,  there  were  living  in  Benjamin's  family 
at  that  time,  one  free  white  male  over  sixteen,  two  under  sixteen, 
and  two  free  white  females;  which  accounts  for  himself  and  wife, 
his  sons  Thomas  and  Abraham  and  his  daughter  Nancy. 

Elizabeth  (Oaves)  Lincoln  is  said  to  have  been  of  Pennsylvania 
German  parentage  and  to  have  been  born  in  or  near  Reading  or 


FIFTH   GENERATION  217 

Harrisburg,   but   her   parents   are   unknown.      On   petition   of 

Elizabeth  Lincoln,  widow  and  relict  of Lincoln  of 

township,  deceased,  setting  forth  that  Henry  Lincoln,  son  of 
Elizabeth  Lincoln,  is  a  minor  under  14,  the  Court  appointed 
Andrew  Porter,  Esq.,  his  guardian,  June,  1823.  (Orphans' 
Court  Records,  Fayette  County,  Vol.  ii,  p.  81.)  From  the 
foregoing  it  appears  that  Benjamin  and  Elizabeth  Lincoln  had  a 
son  Henry,  the  youngest  of  the  family,  who  has  not  generally 
been  credited  to  them.  It  is  probable  that  he  died  before  reach- 
ing manhood. 

Children,  born  at  North  Union: 

adaga  a.     Thomas,  born  Aug.  10,  1785. 

adaga  b.  Nancy,  born  before  1790;  died  at  Uniontown,  Pa.;  married  (1), 
about  1810,  Daniel  Woodnancy,  who  died  about  a  year  after  his  marriage, 
being  killed  by  being  thrown  from  a  horse.  He  lived  at  Uniontown, 
and  is  said  to  have  been  buried  in  the  Lincoln  burying  ground  at  North 
Union,  but  no  stone  marks  his  grave.  April,  1814,  Thomas  Lincoln, 
administrator  on  the  estate  of  Daniel  Woodnancy,  presented  his  account, 
which  was  allowed.  April,  1815,  William  Swearingen  was  appointed 
guardian  of  "Rhoda  Woodnancy,  minor  child  of  Daniel  Woodnancy, 
deceased,  until  she  shall  arrive  at  the  age  of  fourteen  years."  {Ibid., 
vol.  i,  pp.  147,  159.) 

She  married  (2),  March  9,  1813,  at  North  Union,  John-Henry,  son 
of  Ludwig  and  Catherine-Gertrude  (von  Feilgers)  Zearing  of  Millerstown, 
Pa.,  born  at  Millerstown;  died  Jan.  (or  June)  30,  1857,  at  North  Union. 
He  was  a  farmer  and  blacksmith.  They  lived  on  the  side  of  the  moun- 
tain in  North  Union.  Mrs.  Nancy  Zearing  is  described  as  "a  very  fine 
looking  old  lady  and  as  intelligent  as  one  can  find  anywhere."  Her 
parents  eloped  from  Nanden  Dillenburge  in  1756,  being  but  17  years 
of  age,  and  were  married  in  Philadelphia.  They  lived  at  Millerstown 
but  died  at  the  home  of  their  daughter,  Catherine  Lowrie,  in  Dunbar, 
Pa.

A  petition  in  Orphans'  Court,  Fayette  county,  December, 
1848,  by  Patterson  Lincoln,  adagb  h,  gives  much  information  of 
John  Lincoln's  children.  The  petition  recites  that  his  (Patter- 
son's) brother  John  Lincoln  died  in  the  year  1846,  in  the  State  of 
Missouri,  intestate,  leaving  a  widow,  Matilda,  who  resides  in 
Howard  county.  Mo.,  but  no  children  or  Hneal  heirs,  his  heirs 
being  five  brothers,  five  sisters  and  the  children  (eight  in  num-

"so  far  as  known  to  yr  petitioner  are  as  follows,  viz: — Mordecai

the  age  of  fourteen."  (Records  of  Orphans'  Court,  Fayette 
County,  vol.  iv,  p.  276.) 

Although  the  father  and  mother  and  several  of  the  children  of 
this  family  are  said  to  have  been  buried  in  the  Lincoln  burying 
ground  at  North  Union,  the  only  stone  standing  is  to  the  first 
Abigail,  which  reads  as  follows: 

*'In  J  Memory  t  of  }  Abigail  Lincoln  }  who  departed  J  this  life 
April  t  5th  1807  aged  17  t  Years." 

The  census  of  1790  gives  to  John  Lincoln's  family  at  that 
time,  two  free  white  males  aged  sixteen  or  over,  one  under 
sixteen,  and  two  free  white  females;  from  which  it  would  appear 
that  two  of  his  sons  and  one  of  his  daughters  were  born  before 
that  year.

Mississippi  and  lived  at  Aberdeen.  Martha  died  unmarried  at  Browns-

adaha.  Hannaniah,  son  of  Thomas  {Mordecai,  Mordecai, 
Samuel)  and  Elizabeth  (Davis)  Lincoln  of  Reading,  Pa.,  born 
about  1756,  probably  at  Exeter,  Pa.  In  1775-6,  he  was  a  sergeant 
in  Capt.  George  Naylis's  Company,  Colonel  William  Thompson's 
regiment,  and  was  commissioned,  Oct.  4,  1776,  first  lieutenant  in 
Col.  William  Cooke's  12th  Penn.  regiment.  He  was  promoted  to 
a  captaincy  May  20,  1777,  and  resigned  Oct.  17,  1777,  after  the 
battle  of  Brandywine.  (Hist.  Reg.  of  Officers  of  the  Continental 
Army,  new  ed.  1914.)  Soon  after  leaving  the  army  he  went  to 
Boone's  settlement  in  Kentucky  and  by  Boone's  Survey  Book, 
in  the  possession  of  the  State  Historical  Society  of  Wisconsin, 
it  appears  that  "  Jainry  the  17th  1783  Hannaniah  Lincoln  Enters 
8972J^  acres  of  Land  on  two  tresury  Warrants  No  8323  and 
12409  Beginning  on  Kantuckey  River  at  the  Lower  Ende  of  a 
Large  Botom  Where  CoF  Donelson  Stopt  his  Line  at  a  Large 
Camp  and  trees  Nocked  on  the  River  bank  Runing  north  two 
Miles  then  Este  so  far  that  Right  angles  to  the  river  and  Down 
the  same  will  include  the  Quntity."  And  apparently  under  date 
of  Apr.  22,  1785,  there  were  ''Survayd  for  Hannanighah  Lincoln 
1000  acres."  (The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  pp.  200-1.) 
In  what  county  these  acres  were  situated  has  not  been  ascer- 
tained, but  on  May  7,  1785,  he  was  acting  as  chainman  in  a 
survey  of  400  acres  in  Jefferson  county,  Ky.,  for  his  cousin, 
Abraham  Lincoln,  adaaa,  and  in  1787  he  seems  to  have  been 
living  in  Nelson  county,  Ky.,  as  his  marriage  bond  is  filed  there. 
October  28,  1794,  he  is  described  as  of  Hardin  county,  Ky.,  in  a 
deed  by  which  he  conveyed  to  Robert  Mosley  two  ''inlotts" 
in  the  town  of  Hartford,  Nos.  90  and  91,  and  two  "outlotts" 
containing  three  acres  each,  which  he  had  purchased  Apr.  30, 
1792,  of  Gabriel  Maddison  of  Fayette  county,  Ky.,  for  £3  ''and 
the  fully  complying  with  terms  proposed  by  Robert  Baird  for 
the  encouragement  of  settling  the  Town  of  Hartford  on  Rough 
Creek."  (Hardin  County  Deeds,  vol.  A,  p.  55;  Nelson  County 
Deeds,  vol.  4,  p.  476.) 


FIFTH   GENERATION  223 

Mr.  Lea  in  '^The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln"  (see  notes  on 
pp.  74,  75  and  82)  claims  that  Hannaniah  was  son  of  Mordecai, 
adag,  and  Mary  (Webb)  Lincoln,  being  identical  with  their  child 
Hannah  who  was  born  Dec.  31,  1761,  but  he  gives  no  vaKd 
reason  for  this  belief.  There  are  several  arguments  against  it, 
one  of  the  strongest  being  that  Mordecai  was  a  very  methodical 
man  and  kept  a  ''Family  Book,"  in  which  he  kept  accounts  with 
all  his  children  and  gave  a  record  of  their  births.  If  his  child 
had  been  a  boy  it  is  not  likely  that  he  would  have  called  him 
Hannah  in  this  record,  as  he  does;  and  if  the  child  had  lived  to 
maturity  it  is  probable  that  his  father  would  have  made  some 
mention  of  him  either  in  the  ''Family  Book"  or  in  his  will, 
which  he  did  not.  It  is  supposed  by  descendants  of  Mordecai 
that  the  child  Hannah  died  young,  before  the  family  moved  to 
Fayette  county.  On  the  other  hand  Richard-Van  Buskirk 
Lincoln,  adahc  aa,  sl  descendant  of  Thomas  Lincoln,  in  a  letter  to 
Henry-Philip  Lincoln,  adahd  daa,  dated  Jan.  1,  1895,  says:  "I 
heard  my  grandfather  Mishal  Lincoln  speak  of  his  brother 
Hannaniah  and  uncle  Mordecai."  .  .  .  "Knowing  that  Presi- 
dent Abraham  was  a  native  of  Kentucky  and  that  my  grand- 
father's brother,  Hannaniah,  had  settled  in  Kentucky  ...  I 
wrote  to  Abraham  at  Springfield  in  April  1860  and  soon  after- 
wards received  from  him  a  reply  by  which  it  appears  that  Han- 
naniah was  a  cousin  of  his  grandfather  and  that  Abraham's 
father  and  my  father  were  second  cousins."  The  president 
also  stated  in  this  letter  that  Hannaniah  had  sons  Austin  and 
Davis  whom  he  "remembered  to  have  seen." 

No  record  has  been  found  of  the  births  of  Thomas's  children 
nor  of  his  marriage,  but  it  is  known  that  his  son  Thomas  was 
born  in  November,  1758,  and  Mishal  in  1761,  and  Hannaniah  is 
supposed  to  have  been  the  oldest  child  and  therefore  born  about 
1756,  which  would  make  him  more  likely  to  have  been  the 
lieutenant  commissioned  in  1776,  than  if  a  son  of  Mordecai,  born 
in  1761.  Finally  the  unusual  name  of  Hannaniah  is  never  found 
among  the  descendants  of  Mordecai,  whereas  Thomas  had  two 
; grandchildren  of  that  name,  viz.:  a  son  of  his  daughter  Sarah, 
I  and  a  son  of  his  son  Thomas. 

No  record  has  been  found  of  Hannaniah  in  Kentucky  after 
1794,  but  it  is  stated  by  Nicolay  and  Hay  in  their  "Life  of 


224  LINCOLN   GENEALOGY 

Abraham  Lincoln,"  vol.  i,  p.  5,  that  he  joined  Boone  in  his 
Missouri  purchase  in  1798,  which  may  account  for  his  disap- 
pearance from  Kentucky.  He  most  probably  had  a  family,  and 
there  is  reason  to  believe  that  the  Lucy  Lincoln  who  married 
Jonathan  Hills  at  Elizabethtown  was  a  daughter,  and  perhaps 
Rebecca  Lincoln,  who  married  William  Kellem,  was  another. 
The  descendants  of  Lucy  are  confident  that  her  mother  was  a 
Jeffreys,  which  is  confirmed  by  the  name  of  her  oldest  child. 
They  are,  however,  entirely  ignorant  of  any  Lincoln  relatives, 
which  may  be  explained  by  assuming  that  Hannaniah  took  his 
older  children  with  him  to  Missouri,  leaving  the  baby  Lucy  and 
perhaps  Rebecca  to  be  brought  up  by  their  mother's  family  in 
Hardin  county. 

He  married  (his  marriage  bond,  dated  Feb.  9,  1787,  is  recorded 
at  Bardstown,  Nelson  county,  Ky.)  Sarah  Jeffreys,  of  whom 
absolutely  nothing  has  been  learned.  The  following  children 
are  assigned  to  them  without  positive  proof  that  they  were 
theirs.  It  is  probable  that  Rebecca,  who  was  married  in  1811, 
was  born  no  earlier  than  1791,  and  is  placed  first,  with  the  two 
boys  named  by  President  Lincoln  between  her  and  Lucy.  There 
may,  of  course,  have  been  others. 

Children : 

adaha  a.  Rebecca,  married,  November,  1811,  in  Hardin  county  (by  Thomas 
Whitman  and  recorded  at  Bardstown)  William  Kellem.  It  is  presumed 
that  they  either  moved  away  or  had  no  children  as  the  name  is  unknown 
to  any  member  of  her  sister  Lucy's  family.

born  June  17,  1792,  in  Rutherford  county,  N.  C,  and  died  Dec.  30,  1856, 
at  Elizabethtown.  He  was  a  cabinet-maker  and  lived  at  Elizabethtown.

Samuel)  and  Elizabeth  (Davis)  Lincoln  of  Reading,  Pa.,  born 
November,  1758,  probably  at  Exeter,  Pa.;  died  July,  1819,  aged 
61  years,  8  months.  He  enhsted  May  8,  1777,  in  the  13th  Penn- 
sylvania regiment;  was  ensign;  and  resigned  July  4,  1778.  He 
was  in  camp  at  Valley  Forge  and  was  in  the  battle  of  Brandy- 
wine.  (Hist.  Reg.  Officers  of  Cont.  Army,  new  ed.  1914.)  He 
is  said  to  have  been  in  charge  of  powder  wagons  at  Brandywine 
and  to  have  been  captured  at  Guilford  Court  House;  and  it  is 
further  reported  that,  on  being  mustered  out  of  service  in  New 
York  City,  he,  with  three  companions,  walked  to  Atglen,  Pa., 
without  stopping  overnight.  In  1781,  he  was  living  near  Radnor, 
Pa.,  but  in  that  year  he  was  taxed  in  Treddyffrin  township, 
Chester  county,  Pa.  In  1813,  he  bought  land  in  Sadsbury  town- 
ship of  George  Hollis,  blacksmith,  but  he  lived  mostly,  or, 
perhaps  it  should  be  said,  finally,  at  Pennington ville,  now  Atglen. 
He  was  by  trade  a  tailor. 

He  married,  about  1780,  Priscilla,  daughter  of  Joseph  and 
Margaret  (Thomas)  Dickinson,  born  1754;  died  Apr.  24,  or  26, 
1824,  aged  70  years.  Her  mother,  Margaret,  widow  of  Joseph 
'  Dickinson,  purchased  a  property  at  Radnor,  from  Louis  German, 
Oct.  16,  1769,  which  property  was  sold,  by  deed  dated  Aug.  17, 
1801,  by  her  children  to  Joseph  Lincoln,  the  husband  of  one 
of  them  (Ehzabeth),  the  consideration  being  $1000.  The  deed 
recites  that  Margaret  died  intestate  and  gives  the  names  of  her 
children  as:  Azariah,  German  (or  Jermyn),  Priscilla  wife  of 
Thomas  Lincoln,  Margaret  wife  of  Joseph  Taylor,  and  Eliza- 
beth wife  of  Joseph  Lincoln.  Margaret^  (Thomas)  Dickin- 
son was  daughter  of  Thomas^  {William})  and  Sarah  (Jermyn) 
Thomas. 

Administration  on  Mr.  Lincoln's  estate  was  given,  Aug.  5, 
1819,  in  Chester  county,  to  Azariah  and  Samuel  Lincoln,  his 
sons,  and  his  residence  at  death  is  given  as  West  Fallowfield, 
Pa.  (Records  of  Henry-Philip  Lincoln,  adahd  daa,  Anna  T

It  is  also  reported  that  he  enlisted  in  the  army  in  the  War  of  1812,  but,

German,  "a  noble  young  man  of  excellent  character,  who  left  home  and 
was  never  after  heard  of."  The  census  of  1790  says  there  were  then  in 
Thomas's  family,  two  free  white  males  aged  sixteen  or  over,  three  under 
sixteen,  and  four  free  white  females.  This  may  mean  that,  allowing  for 
himself,  his  wife  and  a  male  servant,  three  of  his  sons  and  his  three  daugh- 
ters were  born  before  that  date.

9,  1761,  at  Reading;  died  Aug.  11,  1849,  near  Laurelton,  Union 
county.  Pa.,  where  he  had  Hved  during  the  latter  part  of  his 
life.  After  the  Revolution  he  settled  first  at  Bellefonte,  Center 
county,  Pa.,  but  later  moved  to  Union  county.  He  was  a  farmer. 
He  married,  probably  in  1781,  Rachel  Thompson  of  Mifflinburg, 
Pa.,  born  Oct.  24,  1760,  near  Mifflinburg;  died  June  28,  1848, 
in  Hartley  township.  Union  county.  (Records  of  Henry-Philip 
Lincoln,  adahd  daa,  and  James-Minor  Lincoln.) 

During  the  Revolution  he  served  for  six  months  in  General 
Sullivan's  expedition  against  the  Indians  in  the  southern  part 
of  New  York  State,  which  was  sent  out  in  revenge  for  the  mas- 
sacre at  Wyoming.  He  was  also  at  Fort  Freeland,  on  the  west 
branch  of  the  Susquehanna,  when  Captain  Brady  was  killed  by 
the  Indians  in  1779,  and  assisted  in  carrying  him  into  the  fort. 
Having  thus  become  somewhat  familiar  with  the  country  in  the 
vicinity  of  the  West  Branch  he  purchased,  immediately  after  the 
war,  a  large  tract  of  land  in  Buffalo  valley,  in  Union  county, 
about  one  mile  east  of  Mifflinburg,  to  which  he  removed  in  1783, 
with  his  wife  and  oldest  child.  From  1817  to  1820,  he  was  one 
of  the  commissioners  of  Union  county.  He  and  his  wife  are 
buried  in  the  Lewis  graveyard  in  Limestone  township.  (From 
a  letter  of  Richard-VanBuskirk  Lincoln,  adahc  aa,  to  James- 
Minor  Lincoln;  see  also  Hist.  Susq.  &  Juniata  Valleys,  vol.  ii, 
p.  1395.) 

The  census  of  1790  gives  him  one  free  white  male  over  16 
years,  one  under  16  years,  and  two  free  white  females  and  places 
him  in  Northumberland  county.  Pa.  This  accounts  for  himself 
and  wife,  his  son  John  and  a  daughter.  The  names  of  but  three 
children  have  been  obtained.  There  were  probably  others  born 
between  John  and  Thomas,  who  may  have  died  young. 

Children,  born:  a  in  Berks  county;  b,  c  in  Union  county: 

adahc  a.     John,  born  Jan.  30,  1782.    (One  record  says  June  30.) 

adahc  b.    Thomas,  born  Nov.  1,  1795. 

adahc  c.      Sarah,  born  Dec.  30,  1796;  married  Michall  or  Michael  Roush

and  EHzabeth  (Davis)  Lincoln  of  Reading,  Pa.,  born  about  1770,

county,  Pa.  He  was  a  tanner  by  trade  and  lived  at  Radnor. 
He  married,  in  1789,  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Joseph  and  Margaret 
(Thomas)  Dickinson,  born  about  1759;  died  July  20,  1835,  at 
Rising  Sun,  Md.  She  was  sister  of  Priscilla  Dickinson  who 
married  Joseph's  brother,  Thomas. 

Joseph  Lincoln  was  taxed  at  Radnor  in  1789,  but  in  1817 
the  property  was  taxed  in  the  name  of  his  wife,  Elizabeth  Dickin- 
son Lincoln.  In  1801  he  purchased  land  at  Radnor  of  his  wife's 
brothers  and  sisters.  Among  the  latter  was  Priscilla  who  married 
his  brother  Thomas.  The  deed  is  dated  Aug.  17,  1801,  and  the 
property  consisted  of  three  acres  of  land  and  a  stone  house  for 
which  he  paid  $1000,  but  for  which  he  was  assessed  only  $525. 
His  wife's  mother,  Margaret  Dickinson,  purchased  it  as  a  widow 
of  one  Louis  German,  by  deed  dated  Oct.  16,  1769. 

It  is  supposed  that  Joseph  was  buried  in  the  Friends  burying 
ground  at  Radnor,  but  there  is  no  proof  of  it  as  he  was  not  a 
Friend  and  no  record  was  kept  of  the  burial  of  others  than 
Friends.  Mrs.  Lincoln  was  buried  in  the  West  Nottingham 
Friends  burying  ground,  near  Rising  Sun.  (Records  of  Henry- 
Philip  Lincoln,  adahd  daa.) 

By  the  census  of  1790,  there  were  then  living  in  his  family  one 
free  white  male  of  16  years  or  over,  one  under  16,  and  two  free 
white  females.

adbca.  Abraham,  son  of  Jacob  (Abraham,  Mordecai,  Samuel) 
and  Anne  (Rambo)  Lincoln  of  Kingsessing  (now  part  of  Phila- 
delphia), Pa.,  born  about  1749,  probably  at  Kingsessing;  died 
Oct.  19,  1811,  at  Kingsessing,  "aged  60  years.'' 

He  married  EHzabeth  Shrum,  who  was  born  Jan.  17,  1772,  and 
died  Feb.  14,  1855,  at  Kingsessing.  He  and  his  wife,  with  their 
daughters  Mary  and  Elizabeth,  are  buried  in  the  Old  Swedes 
cemetery  at  Kingsessing.     The  stones  are  inscribed  as  follows: 

''In  Memory  of  J  Abram  Lincoln  J  who  departed  this  life  t 
Oct.  19*^  1811  t  in  the  60th  Year  of  his  Age  J  Also  Elizabeth  t 
Daughter  of  J  Abram  &  Elizabeth  Lincoln  {  aged  20  Months  t 
Though  lost  to  sight  t  To  Memory  dear." 

"In  Memory  of  t  Elizabeth  Lincoln  t  who  departed  this 
life  t  Feb^.  14,  1855  |  in  the  83'^  Year  of  her  age  t  She  has  left 
this  World  &  gone  to  rest  t  To  be  with  God  forever  blest." 

"In  Memory  of  J  Mary  Lincoln  J  born  January  8*^  1799  t 
Died  May  2'''^  1872  t  Before  the  throne  |  Washed  in  the  blood 
of  the  Lamb." 

The  age  of  Abraham  as  given  on  his  tombstone  must  be  an 
error  unless  he  was  twin  of  his  sister  "Catarina."  He  was  evi- 
dently the  oldest  child  of  Jacob. 

Elizabeth  Shrum  was  a  member  of  the  Old  Swedes  Church  at 
Kingsessing  and  a  most  pious  woman.  She  had  a  very  strong 
face  and  her  portrait  is  cherished  by  her  descendants.  Her 
Bible  and  writings  were  all  in  German.  Of  her  parentage  nothing 
has  been  learned  beyond  the  fact  that  her  father,  who  lived  on 
the  Grays  Ferry  road,  went  to  the  Revolutionary  war  and  never 
returned.  She  was  his  only  child.  In  the  list  of  "Swedish 
settlers  born  in  Sweden  and  living  in  1693,"  compiled  by  the 
rector  of  the  Old  Swedes  Church  of  which  Elizabeth  Shrum  was 
a  communicant  through  all  her  life,  the  name  of  Cleas  Schram 
appears.  It  is  not  unlikely  that  he  was  an  ancestor  of  Elizabeth 
Shrum.  (Communicated  by  Mrs.  Katharine-Rebecca  Styer, 
adbca  bbd.) 

Administration  on  the  estate  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  deceased, 
was  granted,  Nov.  1,  1811,  to  Elizabeth  Lincoln,  widow,  and

John  Lincoln.  Sureties  were  Jacob  Nitzell  of  Kingsessing  and 
Rebecca  Bravard  of  Philadelphia.  (Phila.  Registry,  vol.  K,  p. 
449.)  The  names  of  his  eight  children  as  given  in  Orphans'  Court 
Records,  Philadelphia,  No.  28,  March,  1821,  are  as  follows: 
John,  Catherine,  Ann  (now  wife  of  Abraham  Paschall),  Isaac, 
Mary  (all  of  age  in  1821),  Abraham,  Rebecca,  Sarah  (all  minors 
in  1821).

Church),  Henry,  son  of  John  and  Frances  (Hodge)  Paschall  of  Blockley 
township,  Pa.,  born  Aug.  28,  1746,  in  Blockley  township,  near  Darby; 
died  May  13,  1835,  at  Kingsessing.  She  was  his  second  wife.  He  married 
(1),  May  24,  1770,  at  Darby  meeting,  Ann,  daughter  of  Nathan  and  Ann 
(Knowles)  Garrett  of  Darby,  born  Sept.  24,  1752,  at  Darby;  died  Dec. 
1,  1820,  at  Kingsessing.  (Delaware  County  Deaths.)  She  was  generally 
known  as  Ann  P.  Garrett.  Mr.  Paschall  removed  to  Wilmington,  Del., 
soon  after  his  first  marriage,  but,  later,  resided  within  the  limits  of  Darby 
meeting.  In  the  latter  part  of  his  life  he  occupied  an  old  stone  house, 
now  the  parsonage  of  the  Old  Swedes  Church,  St.  James  of  Kingsessing, 
on  Darby  road.  He  was  known  as  Dr.  Paschall,  and  had  quite  a  medical 
practice,  but  was  a  self-educated  man.  In  deeds  dated  Nov.  19,  1797, 
however,  he  is  called  "inn-keeper."  He  had  eleven  children  by  his  first 
wife.  (Lloyd  Family,  pp.  223-4;  Records  of  Mrs.  Katharine-Rebecca 
[Paschall]  Styer,  adbca  bbd;  Sharpless  Family,  p.  895,  which  confuses

(Am.  Daily  Advertiser,  Jan.  7,  1826.)  She  was  his  second  wife.  By  his 
first  wife,  who  was  named  Catherine,  he  had  four  sons :  Henry,  William, 
Charles  and  Isaac,  as  is  shown  by  the  following  deed,  dated  March  25, 
1839,  by  which  Isaac  Carpenter  and  Rebecca  his  wife,  Henry  Carpenter 
and  Mary  his  wife,  William  Carpenter  and  Ann  his  wife,  Charles  Carpenter 
all  of  Philadelphia,  and  Isaac  Carpenter,  Jr.,  of  the  District  of  South- 
wark,  shoemaker,  the  said  Henry,  WilHam,  Charles  and  Isaac,  Jr.,  being 
children  of  Catherine  Carpenter,  deceased,  the  former  wife  of  said  Isaac 
Carpenter,  conveyed  to  James  Mitchell  a  three-story  brick  house  and 
land  thereto  belonging  on  Spruce  street,  Philadelphia.  The  deed  recites 
that  "said  Catherine  hath  lately  died  leaving  four  only  children  to 
inherit  one  full  fifth  part  of  the  within  named  premises,  subject  to  the 
estate  for  life  of  their  father,  the  said  Isaac  Carpenter."  (Philadelphia

Mary  (Jones)  Lukens  of  Upper  Darby,  born  Nov.  27,  1791,  at  Upper 
Darby;  died  there  July  31,  1868.  They  lived  at  Upper  Darby.  He  was 
a  farmer.

adbcf.  Moses,  son  of  Jacob  {Abraham,  Mordecai,  Samuel) 
and  Anne  (Rambo)  Lincoln  of  Kingsessing,  Pa.,  born  1759,  at 
Kingsessing;  died  Feb.  22,  1835,  at  Kingsessing,  aged  79  years 
according  to  his  gravestone.  If  this  is  correct  he  must  have  been 
born  in  1755,  or  else  was  twin  of  his  brother  John  and  born  Feb. 
1,  1756.  It  is  singular  that  he  is  the  only  child,  after  the  oldest, 
Abraham,  whose  baptism  is  not  recorded.  ''Deaths  in  Delaware 
County,"  recorded  in  the  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania, 


234  LINCOLN   GENEALOGY 

says  he  died  "2d  mo.  23rd  day  1835,"  but  does  not  give  his 
age. 

He  married,  March  19,  1795,  at  Kingsessing  in  the  Old  Swedes 
Church,  Barbara  Kinch,  who  was  born  in  1772,  and  died  Feb. 
28,  1804,  at  Kingsessing,  ''aged  32  years."  He  settled  in  Lower 
Darby  in  1788  and  was  Overseer  of  the  Poor  in  1795. 

Administration  on  the  estate  of  Moses  Lincoln  was  granted  to 
Jacob  Lincoln,  March  11,  1835,  George  and  Michael  Lincoln, 
sureties.  Net  value  of  the  estate  $1,372.66.  (The  Ancestry  of 
Abraham  Lincoln,  p.  169.) 

Moses  and  his  wife  are  buried  in  the  Old  Swedes  cemetery  at 
Kingsessing,  their  gravestones  being  inscribed  as  follows: — 

''In  Memory  of  J  Moses  Lincoln  {who  departed  this  life  % 
February  22^.  1835  J  aged  79  years." 

"In  Memory  of  t  Barbara  Lincoln  |  wife  of  Moses  Lincoln  t 
who  departed  this  life  t  February  28*^.  1804  J  aged  32  Years." 

Children,  born  at  Darby: 

adbcf  a.    Jacob,  born  1795. 

adbcf  b.    George,  born  Sept.  21,  1798.    His  gravestone  at  Darby  says  1793, 
but  this  must  be  a  mistake  of  the  stone  cutter. 

adbcf  c.     Michael,  born  May  22,  1801. 

Note:  Some  authorities  think  that  Moses  married  a  second  wife  by 
whom  he  had  Moses-Maris  Lincoln,  whose  gravestone  stands  next  to 
that  of  Moses  inscribed  thus — "  Sacred  t  to  J  the  memory  of  J  Moses 
Maris  Lincoln  |  who  departed  this  life  j  January  22,  1839  J  aged  19 
years  11  months  J  and  10  days  J  Rest  in  Peace."  If  this  is  correct  that 
second  wife  may  have  been  the  Ann  Richmond  whose  gravestone  stands 
next  to  that  of  Moses'  son  Jacob  inscribed — "Sacred  t  to  J  the  memory 
of  J  Ann  Richmond  J  who  departed  this  life  |  November  16,  1858  J  in 
the  62nd  year  of  her  age  t  Rest  in  Peace."  If  so  she  too  must  have 
married  again.  From  her  age  she  was  more  likely  a  daughter  of  Moses 
than  a  wife,  Mrs.  Styer,  adbca  bbd,  says  there  were  also  sons  Moses 
and  Isaac,  but  this  has  not  been  confirmed,  but  Moses-Maris  may  be 
one  of  these.

Deaths  with  Hist.  Soc.  of  Penn.)  His  will,  dated  March  22,  and 
proved  Sept.  17,  1822,  calls  him  Jacob  Lincoln,  senior,  of  King- 
sessing. By  it  he  made  the  following  bequests:  'Ho  son  Moses 
fifty  dollars  to  be  paid  in  equal  payments  of  ten  dollars  a  year 


FIFTH    GENERATION  235 

the  first  payment  to  be  made  one  year  after  my  decease";  'Ho

.  .  .  that  if  either  of  my  said  sons  Moses  or  Jacob  .  .  .

ever, or  if  my  son  Jacob  should,  bring  any  charges  for  repairs  or 
buildings  on  lot  where  he  now  resides,  then  these  gifts  to  be 
void  .  .  .  and  the  money  to  be  equally  divided  amongst  my 
four  youngest  sons";  ''to  son  Samuel"  a  small  lot  land;  "to 
daughter  Mary"  a  small  house  lot  on  Darby  road,  "my  son 
Jacob  now  resides  in  it.  I  also  give  her  one  feather  bed,  bed- 
stead and  saccon"  [sic]  ''bottom,  two  pair  blankets,  two  pair 
sheets,  one  bolster,  two  pillows,  and  one  coverlet,  the  best  in  my 
possession";  "to  four  youngest  sons  viz:  John,  Charles,  Israel 
and  William,  the  land  where  I  now  reside  .  .  .  nine  or  ten 
acres  more  or  less  which  I  purchased  of  Stephen  and  Ann  Pas- 
chall  .  .  .  also  marsh  meadow  land  purchased  of  Thomas  J. 
Paschall  .  .  .  also  a  small  lot  of  land  with  an  unfinished  house 
...  on  Derby  road,  adjoining  the  lot  devised  to  son  Samuel 
...  to  be  divided  .  .  .  when  the  youngest  arrives  at  the 
age  of  twenty  one  years."  He  names  "my  mother  in  law  Hester 
Taylor"  and  makes  John  Gibson  "guardian  of  the  persons  and 
property  of  my  minor  children."  (Philadelphia  Wills,  Book  7, 
p.  534.) 

May  12,  1794,  Jacob  Lincoln  of  Kingsessing,  yeoman,  and 
Mary  his  wife,  conveyed  to  William  Glover  for  fifty  pounds, 
land  in  Kingsessing  bounded  on  land  of  said  Glover's,  on  other 
land  of  Jacob's  and  on  land  of  Jacob  Nitsell,  containing  five  acres 
and  seventy-three  square  perches,  being  part  of  a  lot  of  land 
conveyed  June  14,  1784,  by  Robert  Towers  and  Margaret  his 
wife  to  Stephen  Paschall,  Jr.,  and  devised  by  him  in  his  will 
of  May  12,  1790,  to  his  wife  Ann,  and  by  her  conveyed  to  said 
Jacob  Lincoln,  March  20,  1792.  This  deed  Jacob  signed  with  his 
mark,  but  his  wife  signed  her  name.  (Philadelphia  Deeds,  Bk. 
E.  F.  5,  p.  66.)  Jacob,  however,  was  able  to  write,  as  his  name 
was  affixed  to  a  deed  dated  Apr.  27,  1797.  (Ibid.,  Bk.  D.  71, 
p.  370.)  The  land  acquired  from  Mrs.  Ann  Paschall  was  pur- 
chased by  Jacob  just  before  his  marriage,  and  it  is  evident  from 
his  will  that  he  made  his  home  upon  it  until  his  death. 

He  married,  Apr.  11,  1792,  at  Philadelphia  (Records  of  Old 


236  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

Swedes  Church),  Mary  Taylor,  whose  birth,  death  and  parentage 
have  not  been  learned,  but  it  is  evident  from  Jacob's  will  that 
she  died  before  him  and  that  her  mother's  name  was  Hester. 
All  that  is  known  of  Jacob's  children  has  been  learned  from  his 
will  and  that  of  his  sister,  Rebecca  Bravard,  and  from  the  deeds 
by  which  they  conveyed  the  land  devised  to  them  by  their 
father. 

Children,  born  at  Kingsessing: 

adbch  a.  Moses,  named  in  his  father's  will  but  probably  died  unmarried 
before  his  aunt,  Mrs.  Bravard,  made  her  will  in  1832. 

adbch  b.    Jacob,  died  Jan.  19,  1826,  probably,  certainly  before  Sept.  3,  1832, 
the  date  of  Mrs.  Bravard's  will.     He  married  a  daughter  of  Benjamin 
Tage,  who  was  appointed  by  Mrs.  Bravard  as  guardian  of  Jacob's  three 
children. 
Children :

adbch  c.  Samuel,  died,  probably,  before  Sept.  3, 1832,  the  date  of  his  aunt's, 
Mrs.  Bravard's,  will,  as  he  is  not  named  in  that  instrument.  He  was 
Living  unmarried  Jan.  2,  1824,  on  which  date  he  conveyed  to  William 
Hope  for  $160  the  "small  lot  of  land"  devised  to  him  by  his  father.  In 
this  deed  he  is  called  "of  Kingsessing,  Trader."  (Philadelphia  Deeds, 
Bk.I.H.8,p.601.) 

adbch  d.  Mary,  married  Oct.  17,  1825,  at  Philadelphia,  John  Davis  of 
Kingsessing.  (Records  of  First  Reformed  Protestant  Dutch  Church.) 
She  was  living  in  1832,  when  she  was  named  as  one  of  the  residuary 
legatees  of  her  aunt  Mrs.  Bravard. 

adbch  e.  John.  He  was  living  Nov.  18,  1829,  in  the  district  of  Southwark, 
a  cordwainer,  when  he  conveyed  to  Mrs.  Bravard  in  consideration  of 
$550  his  one  fourth  part  of  the  land  devised  to  him  by  his  father.  He  was 
then  unmarried.  (Philadelphia  Deeds,  Bk.  G.  W.  R.  36,  p.  25.)  He  was 
also  living  Sept.  3, 1832,  the  date  of  Mrs.  Bravard's  will. 

adbch  f.  Charles,  probably  died  before  Sept.  3,  1832,  the  date  of  his  aunt 
Bravard's  will,  as  he  is  not  named  in  that  instrument;  but  he  was  living 
May  2,  1832,  when  with  his  wife,  Eliza,  he  conveyed  to  Mrs.  Bravard  his 
one  fourth  interest  in  the  land  devised  to  him  by  his  father.  {Ibid., 
Bk.  A.  M.  22,  p.  542.) 

adbch  g.  Israel.  August  22,  1835,  he,  then  living  in  Philadelphia,  a  cord- 
wainer, with  his  wife  Martha-Ann,  conveyed  to  Charles  WilHs  his  un- 
divided one  fourth  part  of  "  the  small  lot  of  land  with  an  unfinished  house," 
devised  to  him  and  his  brothers  by  his  father;  and  on  Oct.  12,  1835,  they 
conveyed  to  Rachel  Farrell  for  $550  his  one  fourth  interest  in  the  lot  of 
nine  or  ten  acres  devised  to  him  and  his  brothers.  The  consideration  in 
the  former  deed  was  $90.  (Ibid.,  Bks.  A.  W.  68,  p.  51;  G.  S.  7,  p.  396.) 
Nothing  is  known  of  his  wife  except  her  Christian  name. 

adbch  h.  William,  died  Oct.  9,  1856,  probably,  but  this  may  be  the  date  of 
death  of  his  cousin  Wilham,  adbcf  aa.    He  is  named  in  his  aunt  Bravard's

will  dated  Sept.  3,  1832,  and  was  living,  unmarried,  Apr.  28,  1837,  on

adbfa.  William,  son  of  Mordecai  (Abraham,  Mordecai, 
Samuel)  and  Abiah  (Eels)  Lincoln  of  Middletown,  Conn.,  born 
1765,  at  Middletown,  bapt.  Feb.  3,  1765,  at  Middletown;  died 
March  31,  1847,  at  Middletown  Upper  Houses,  now  Cromwell, 
Conn.  He  lived  at  Middletown  Upper  Houses  and  was  a  farmer. 
March  21,  1807,  William  Savage  of  Middletown,  father  of 
Mrs.  Abiah  Lincoln's  second  husband,  ''for  love  and  affection 
that  I  have  and  do  bear  unto  my  nephew  William  Lincoln  of 
said  Middletown,"  conveyed  to  him  three  pieces  of  land  in 
Middletown,  'Ho  wit  my  home  lot  containing  four  and  a  half 
acres  .  .  .  also  my  Timber  Hill  lot  .  .  .  containing  thirty 
five  acres  .  .  .  also  my  lot  by  the  quarry  .  .  .  containing 
thirty  five  acres.    (Middletown  Land  Records,  vol.  xxxviii,  p.  203.) 

He  married,  about  1800,  probably  at  Southington,  Conn., 
Lois,  daughter  of  Daniel  and  Phebe  (Woodruff)  Pardee  of  South- 
ington, born  1773,  at  Southington;  died  Sept.  12,  1846,  at 
Middletown  Upper  Houses,  aged  73  years.  (Records  of  the 
Congregational  Church,  Cromwell.)  If  she  is  buried  at  Crom- 
well no  stone  marks  her  grave.  Mr.  Lincoln  is  buried  in  the  old 
cemetery  at  Cromwell,  his  gravestone  being  inscribed  as  follows: 
"William  Lincoln  t  died  t  March  31,  1847  t  aged  82  years." 
His  death  is  also  recorded  in  the  Records  of  the  Congregational 
Church,  where  he  is  called  "aged  83,"  so  he  may  have  been  born 
in  1764,  and  perhaps  at  Taunton,  Mass. 

Mr.  Lincoln  died  intestate,  and  his  son,  John-Egbert,  was 
appointed  administrator  on  his  estate,  Apr.  8,  1847.  His  proper- 
ty was  inventoried  at  $9033.22.  (Middletown  Probate  Records, 
vol.  vii,  p.  379.)

stead and  one  half  the  dwelling  house,  formerly  of  WilHam  Lincoln 
(their  father)  to  their  sisters  Abiah  E.  and  Phebe- Waterman  Lincoln. 
(Middletown  Land  Records,  vol.  76,  p.  327.)  He  is  said  to  have  removed

which  served  until  March  1,  1778,  at  Fort  Hill,  Boston.  (Mass. 
Soldiers  and  Sailors  of  the  Revolution,  vol.  ix,  p.  811.) 

He  married,  Sept.  17,  1781,  at  Cohasset  (Hist,  of  Hingham 
says  Sept.  7),  Fsmny^,  daughter  of  Gushing^  {Richard^,  Johv}) 
and  Huldah  (Orcutt)  Kilby  of  Hingham,  born  July  29,  1763,  at 
Hingham,  second  precinct;  died  Sept.  3,  1846,  at  East  Abington, 
now  Rockland,  Mass.  '' History  of  Hingham,"  vol.  ii,  p.  406, 
says  she  was  born  Aug.  7,  1763,  which  is  the  date  of  her  baptism. 
Massachusetts  Vital  Records  say  she  died  Sept.  4.  They  lived 
on  North  Main  street,  Cohasset,  in  a  house  which  her  father 
inherited  from  his  uncle,  John  Jacob,  in  1753. 

She  married  (2),  Dec.  21,  1801,  at  Cohasset,  Deacon  IsraeP 
Litchfield  of  Scituate  as  his  second  wife.  He  was  son  of  Josiah^

who  died  May  31,  1799,  was  Sarah  Cass.    By  his  wife  Fanny

he  had  two  children:  Serissa,  born  Apr.  14,  1803;  and  Alfred, 
born  Nov.  18,  1804.  He  was  an  important  and  influential 
citizen  of  Scituate.  For  an  account  of  his  life  and  extracts  from 
his  diary  which  he  kept  in  the  years  1774  and  '75,  see  "The 
Litchfield  Family  in  America,"  pp.  311-375.  After  his  death  his 
widow  went  to  live  with  her  daughter  Serissa  at  Rockland,  Mass.

adcak.  James,  son  of  Isaac  (Isaac,  Mordecai,  Samuel)  and 
Ruth  (Beal)  Lincoln  of  Hingham,  Mass.,  born  Apr.  22,  1761, 
at  Hingham,  in  the  second  precinct,  now  Cohasset;  died  May 
23,  1835,  at  Cohasset.  In  1778,  at  the  age  of  seventeen,  he 
served  for  five  months  and  twenty  days  as  a  private  in  the 
Rhode  Island  campaign.  (Hist,  of  Cohasset,  p.  307.)  He  be- 
came a  miller  and  lived  at  Cohasset,  on  South  Main  street,  in  a 
house  built  in  1787  and  now,  1912,  owned  by  Thomas- Warren 
Doyle,  his  great  grandson,  adcak  bah. 

He  married,  Feb.  20,  1788,  at  Bridge  water,  Mass.,  AbigaiP, 
daughter  of  Seth^  (Thomas^,  Jaco¥,  Experience^)  and  Mary 
(Wade)  Mitchell  of  Bridgewater,  born  Sept.  9,  1762,  at  Bridge- 
water;  died  Dec.  6,  1839,  at  Cohasset.  (Early  Massachusetts 
Marriages,  vol.  ii,  p.  147;  N.  E.  Hist.  &  Gen.  Register,  vol.  xlvi, 
p.^167.) 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Lincoln  are  buried  in  the  Central  burying  ground, 
Cohasset,  their  gravestones  being  inscribed  as  follows: 

''James  Lincoln  died  May  23,  1835  aged  74  yrs." 

''Abigail  wife  of  James  Lincoln  died  Dec.  6,  1839  aged  77 
yrs."  (Cohasset  Genealogies,  p.  239;  Hist,  of  Bridgewater, 
p.  244;  Cohasset  Records;  Sampler  of  Mrs.  Chloe  [Lincoln] 
Whitcomb,  adcak  e.) 

"Daughters  in  the  American  Revolution,"  vol.  xiv,  pp.  125-6, 
says  that  Mr.  Lincoln  was  a  fifer  in  Col.  Benj.  Lincoln's  regiment, 
but  also  calls  him  son  of  James^  (Isaac^,  David^,  Stephen^,  Stephen^) 
Lincoln  of  Hingham.  The  gravestones  at  Cohasset  clearly  prove 
that  this  is  an  error  as  James,  the  son  of  James  of  Hingham,  was 
born  Dec.  4,  1757,  and  there  is  no  evidence  that  he  ever  lived 
at  Cohasset  or  ever  had  a  wife  Abigail,  or  in  fact  ever  married 
at  all. 

Children,  born  at  Cohasset: 

adcak  a.  Lucia,  born  July  24,  1789;  died  May  9,  1838,  at  Cohasset,  un- 
married. The  date  of  her  death  is  from  her  gravestone  and  "Cohasset 
Genealogies" ;  Cohasset  records  say  she  died  May  8.  "  Cohasset  Genealo- 
gies" says  that  the  oldest  child  was  named  James,  and  that  he  was 
probably  born  at  Bridgewater.  Absolutely  no  other  authority  has  been 
found  for  this,  and  members  of  the  family  are  positive  that  there  was  no 
child  named  James. 

adcak  b.   Wabren,  born  Nov.  2,  1792. 

adcak  c.     Maria,  born  Jan.  4, 1795;  died  Feb.  6, 1872,  at  Cohasset,  unmarried. 

adcak  d.    Sally,  born  May  10,  1797;  died  Feb.  10,  1798. 


FIFTH    GENERATION  243 

adcak  e.  Chloe,  born  Dec.  21, 1798;  died  July  16, 1866,  at  Cohasset;  married, 
May  9,  1819,  at  Boston,  by  Rev.  Paul  Dean  (Boston  Records),  Thomas- 
Jefferson^,  son  of  SamueP  {Israel^,  Israel^,  Israel^,  Robert^,  JohrO-)  and  Lydia 
(Ramsdell)  Whitcomb  of  Hanover,  Mass.,  born  June  14,  1801,  at  Han- 
over; died  Feb.  9,  1877,  at  Canisteo,  N.  Y.  (Whitcomb  Family,  p.  95.) 
Mr,  Whitcomb  passed  his  boyhood  at  Hingham,  attending  school  at 
Derby  academy  and  church  at  the  "Old  Ship,"  as  the  first  church  is 
familiarly  called.  After  his  marriage  he  lived  in  Boston  and  studied  for 
the  ministry  under  Rev.  Paul  Dean,  who  was  known  as  a  "restorationist." 
He  became  a  Universalist  minister  and  had  his  first  pastorate  at  Roches- 
ter, Vt.  About  1835  he  went  to  New  York  State  and  estabhshed,  in  the 
city  of  Hudson,  the  first  Universahst  Sunday  School  in  that  state.  From 
Hudson  he  went  to  Schenectady  and  thence  to  several  different  places, 
among  them  Victor,  Cortland,  Springville,  Newport,  Alexander,  Webster 
and  Canisteo,  in  which  last  place  he  died  at  the  age  of  seventy-six.

and  Jael  (Curtis)  Lincoln  of  Cohasset,  Mass.,  born  Feb.  5,  1756, 
at  Scituate,  Mass.;  date  of  his  death  unknown.  It  is  supposed 
that  he  was  captured  while  in  the  army  and  died  in  prison;  and 
as  his  wife  married  again  in  1778,  she  presumably  had  definite 
information  of  his  death.  He  was  a  private  in  Capt.  Job  Cush- 
ing's  Company  of  which  the  muster  roll  is  dated  Aug.  1,  1775. 
He  enlisted  May  16,  and  his  service  lasted  two  months  and 
twenty-one  days.  He  was  also  under  the  same  captain  Dec.  18, 
1775,  when  an  order  for  a  bounty  coat  or  its  equivalent  in  money 
was  issued.  (Massachusetts  Soldiers  and  Sailors  in  the  Revolu- 
tion, vol.  ix,  p.  804;  Hist,  of  Cohasset,  p.  287.) 

He  married,  Aug.  13,  1775,  at  Scituate  (Scituate  Records), 
Olive^,  daughter  of  Samuel*  (Samuel^,  Josiah^,  Lawrence^)  and 
Priscilla  (Vinal)  Litchfield  of  Scituate,  bapt.  June  4,  1758,  at

and  Jael  (Curtis)  Lincoln  of  Cohasset,  Mass.,  born  Oct.  9,  1761, 
at  Hingham,  in  the  second  precinct,  now  Cohasset;  died  Apr. 
30,  1850,  at  Lancaster,  Mass.  He  was  a  soldier  in  the  Revolution 
and  was  allowed  a  pension  for  eleven  months,  fifteen  days,  actual 
service  as  a  private  in  the  Massachusetts  troops.  His  application 
for  a  pension  is  dated  Nov.  20,  1832. 

He  built  a  house  at  Cohasset  on  South  Main  street,  south  of 
his  father's,  in  which  he  lived  after  his  marriage  until  about  1800, 
when  he  removed  to  Lancaster,  where  he  owned  and  occupied  a 
farm  on  George  hill,  in  the  westerly  part  of  the  town,  containing 
about  seventy  acres.  He  died  intestate  and  his  estate  was  in- 
ventoried at  $2217.53.  A  bill  against  the  estate  was  presented 
by  his  daughter  Polly  and  allowed,  amounting  to  $1560,  for 
"services  in  taking  care  of  Jacob  Lincoln  six  years  up  to  the  time 
of  his  death.  May  2,  1850,  and  also  taking  care  of  his  son  Jacob 
and  performing  all  the  labor  of  his  household  during  the  same 
six  years."  A  further  charge  of  $215  ''for  services  43  weeks  since 
the  death  of  my  father  in  taking  care  of  Jacob  and  the  estate '^ 
was  not  allowed.    (Worcester  County  Probate  Files.) 

He  married,  about  1792,  Chloe,  daughter  of  Isaac  {Isaac, 
Mordecai,  Samuel)  and  Sarah  (Hobart)  Lincoln  of  Cohasset, 
adcal,  born  Aug.  17,  1765,  at  Hingham,  in  the  second  precinct; 
died  July  10,  1829,  at  Lancaster.  Lancaster  church  records  say 
that  she  died  of  ''general  decay,  aged  63  years."  Her  gravestone 
at  Lancaster  is  inscribed  as  follows: 

"In  memory  of  J  Mrs.  Chloe  Lincoln,  J  wife  of  Mr.  Jacob 
Lincoln  t  who  died  t  July  10,  1829  t  AE.  63." 

No  stone  marks  the  grave  of  her  husband,  whose  record  as  a 
soldier  is  given  as  follows  in  "Massachusetts  Soldiers  and  Sailors 
of  the  Revolution,"  vol.  ix,  p.  800:  "private  Captain  Silas  Webb's 
company,  Col.  Brooks's  reg't  of  Guards;  joined  Nov.  16,  1777, 
service  to  April  3,  1778,  4  months  18  days  at  Cambridge  guarding

troops  of  convention."  He  also  served  from  Aug.  5,  1778,  to 
Sept.  14,  1778,  and  he  must  have  seen  other  service  as  his  pension 
was  granted  for  a  service  of  eleven  months.

ed himself  to  farming.

The  dates  of  birth  of  the  children  by  his  first  wife,  incorrectly

the  records  of  this  branch  of  the  family.  It  is  rather  singular 
that  these  four  children  were  born  on  the  seventh  of  September, 
October,  November  and  December,  successively,  on  four  al-

Nov.  18,  1859,  at  Watertown,  Mass.  She  is  called  of  Watertown, 
Mass.,  in  her  marriage  record,  and  in  the  State  record  of  her 
death  she  is  said  to  have  been  born  at  Leicester  and  to  have 
been  aged  69  years  at  her  death.  This  would  make  her  born  in 
1791,  and  there  is  no  other  Mary  Upham  whose  birth  is  recorded 
at  Leicester  at  about  that  time.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Lincoln  are 
buried  in  the  Common  cemetery,  Watertown.  (Leicester  Rec-

unmarried.  Her  age  is  given  in  the  State  vital  records  as  54  years  at 
the  time  of  her  death.  This  would  make  her  born  in  1831,  which  in  view 
of  the  date  of  her  brother  Abraham's  birth  seems  unlikely.  Probably 
54  is  an  error  for  57.    She  died  at  Boston,  Mass.

1826,  at  Boston,  Mass.,  and  was  buried  at  Roxbury,  Mass.  In 
his  marriage  record  Mr.  Lincoln  is  called  *'of  Hingham,"  but  he 
was  probably  living  at  Boston,  and  he  continued  to  live  there 
until  after  his  wife's  death.  He  eventually  returned  to  Wey- 
mouth and  was  living  there  when  he  died.  (Boston  Records;

1824,  at  Brewster.  (Brewster  Records,  also  recorded  as  May  21.)  In 
the  Boston  record  of  their  marriage  she  is  called  "Lucinda  G.,"  so  perhaps 
her  full  name  was  Lucinda-Gates  Lincoln.  Mr.  Low  was  a  rigger  in 
company  with  his  father,  Francis,  and  his  brother  William  on  Union 
wharf,  Boston,  in  1857,  when  he  is  named  in  his  father's  will.  (Suffolk

is  called  in  ''History  of  Hingham"  "Jairus  B"  and  perhaps  as- 
sumed the  "B"  to  distinguish  him  from  other  Jairus  Lincolns  of 
entirely  different  families,  who  were  cotemporaries  of  his  in 
Hingham.  In  1863  and  1864,  he  was  president  of  the  Boston

Mass.  (History  of  Hingham  says  June  16),  having  been  murdered 
by  a  convict  while  he  was  warden  of  the  Massachusetts  State 
Prison.  He  received  his  education  partly  in  Hingham  and  partly 
in  Boston.  He  began  his  business  career  with  his  uncle,  Samuel 
Barry,  a  hatter,  and  later  continued  for  himself  in  the  same 
business  until  he  received  the  appointment,  in  1828,  of  deputy 
warden  in  the  State  prison  at  Charlestown.  In  1832,  he  was 
appointed  warden  of  the  prison,  in  which  office  he  continued 
until  his  death.  In  personal  appearance  he  greatly  resembled  his 
father.  He  was  a  man  of  unblemished  character,  of  the  strictest 
integrity,  and  devout  religious  faith.  At  the  time  of  his  death 
he  was  a  member  of  the  Winthrop  Congregational  Church 
(orthodox)  of  Charlestown.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Boston 
Fusileers,  of  which  company  he  had  been  ensign  and  heutenant 
and  was  a  prominent  candidate  for  the  captaincy.  (Records  of 
Rev.  Charles-Lincoln  Morgan,  aahck  aa.)  The  ''Boston  Post" 
for  June  16,  1843,  has  the  following  account  of  his  murder: 

''Yesterday  afternoon,  the  State  Prison,  at  Charlestown,  was 
the  theatre  of  a  most  sudden  and  dreadful  murder.  A  little  after 
5  o'clock,  Mr.  Lincoln,  the  warden,  in  company  with  Mr.  Moses 
Jaquith,  of  this  city,  went  into  the  shoemaker's  shop  for  the 


SIXTH    GENERATION  269 

purpose  of  seeing  a  prisoner  named  Thorn  on  some  private  busi- 
ness, but  just  as  Mr.  Lincoln  was  about  to  speak  to  Thorn, 
Abner  Rogers,  another  prisoner,  who  stood  a  httle  behind  Mr. 
L,  stepped  up,  and  plunged  a  shoe-knife  into  his  back.  Mr.  L. 
then  turned  to  face  the  assassin,  who  followed  up  the  assault  by- 
stabbing  him  in  the  neck.  The  blow  severed  the  carotid  artery, 
and  Mr.  L  died  almost  instantly,  without  uttering  a  word. 

''Before  he  received  the  mortal  wound,  he  had  raised  his  sword 
cane  to  Rogers,  who,  after  striking  the  last  time,  dropped  the 
knife  and  seized  the  cane.  Several  of  the  convicts  spontaneously 
sprang  to  Mr.  L's  assistance,  and  wrested  the  cane  from  Rogers, 
whom  they  seized  and  secured,  but  not  until  the  sword  cane  had 
been  broken  in  the  scuffle. 

''Notwithstanding  the  sudden  and  astounding  nature  of  the 
tragedy,  no  confusion  arose  in  the  shop.  After  lending  the  ne- 
cessary aid  to  Mr.  Sargent,  officer  of  the  shop,  and  Mr.  Jaquith, 
the  prisoners  returned  to  their  employments.  Rogers  who  is 
under  sentence  for  six  months  as  a  second  comer  has  been  some- 
what refractory  of  late,  and  was  yesterday  forenoon  subjected 
to  the  discipline  of  the  shower  bath.  His  present  sentence  will 
expire  on  the  29th  of  September." 

The  "Boston  Advertiser"  of  the  same  date  says:  "Mr.  Lin- 
coln was  a  man  remarkable  for  his  mildness  and  suavity  of 
demeanor,  of  sound  integrity  and  high  character,  and  had  won 
the  esteem  of  the  Judges  of  our  Courts,  the  officers  with  whom  he 
was  in  contact,  and  of  the  whole  community." 

He  married  (1),  Nov.  15,  1821,  at  Dorchester,  Mass.,  Martha- 
Blake,  daughter  of  Nathaniel  and  Rachel  (Wilde)  Minott  of 
Dorchester,  born  Jan.  12,  1799,  at  Dorchester;  died  Dec.  2,  1838,

Later  he  studied  medicine,  taking  the  degree  of  M.  D.  at  the  University 
Medical  College  of  New  York  City  in  1853,  paying  his  way  at  intervals

he  removed  to  Orange  where  he  continued  to  live  until  his  death. 
At  Warwick  he  was  a  farmer,  perhaps  also  a  carpenter  as  he  is 
said  to  have  been  a  cabinet-maker  by  trade  afterwards.  Mrs. 
Adelaide  (Lincoln)  Foster,  aahhg  af,  says  of  him:  ''Uncle  Cush- 
ing's  son  Jotham  was  a  favorite  cousin  of  my  father  and  spent  one 
summer  with  us.  One  day  I  called  him  'Abe'  and  he  said  'that  is 
what  they  call  me  at  the  shop;  Honest  Abe.'  His  complexion  was 
clear  pink  and  white,  and  his  eyes  sapphire  blue ;  his  features  were 
refined  and  his  hair  silvery  white,  when  I  knew  him,  which  was 
when  he  was  about  seventy  years  old.  His  resemblance  to 
Abraham  Lincoln,  nevertheless,  was  striking.  He  had  a  son 
whose  name  I  must  have  heard  but  cannot  recall.  Jotham  lived 
and  worked  at  cabinet-making  at  Athol,  Mass.,  and  I  think  the 
son  married  and  lived  there.     I  have  never  seen  him."

graduated  at  Harvard  College,  1802;  studied  law  and  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  bar  in  Worcester  in  1805.  He  was  elected  to  the 
State  senate  in  1812.  In  1814,  he  was  elected  representative 
to  the  General  Court  from  the  town  of  Worcester  and  continued 
to  be  re-elected  until  1822,  except  three  years  when  he  declined 
being  a  candidate.  In  1822,  he  was  speaker  of  the  House.  In 
1820,  he  was  a  member  of  the  convention  to  amend  the  State 
constitution.  In  1823,  he  was  elected  lieutenant-governor  and 
the  same  year  was  chosen  one  of  the  presidential  electors  and 
cast  a  vote  for  John-Quincy  Adams.  In  1824,  he  was  appointed 
an  associate  justice  of  the  supreme  judicial  court  of  Massachu- 
setts but  held  this  office  for  a  short  time  only,  being  nominated 
and  elected,  in  1825,  governor  of  Massachusetts,  receiving  35,000 
out  of  37,000  votes  cast.  He  entered  upon  the  duties  of  this 
office  on  the  last  Wednesday  of  May,  1825,  and  was  continuously 
re-elected  governor  for  seven  years,  until  November,  1833, 
when  he  voluntarily  withdrew  from  being  longer  a  candidate. 
In  February,  1834,  he  was  chosen  representative  to  Congress 
to  supply  the  vacancy  occasioned  by  the  resignation  of  Hon. 
John  Davis,  who  had  succeeded  Mr.  Lincoln  as  governor,  and 
was  re-elected  to  the  three  succeeding  Congresses.  In  1841, 
he  was  appointed  collector  of  the  Port  of  Boston  by  President 
Harrison  and  held  that  office  until  September,  1843.     He  was

again  State  senator  in  1844  and  1845,  being  president  of  the 
senate  in  the  latter  year.  In  1848,  he  was  appointed  by  the 
legislature  a  Presidential  elector  and  was  chosen  to  preside  over 
the  electoral  college.  In  1864,  he  was  for  the  third  time  chosen 
elector  and  cast  his  vote  for  his  distant  kinsman,  Abraham 
Lincoln.  ''Although  he  retired  from  public  life  in  1845,  and 
declined  the  place  of  senator  in  Congress  when  it  was  offered  to 
him  in  1854,  he  continued  to  be  called  upon,  from  time  to  time, 
to  serve  for  brief  periods  in  responsible  and  important  public 
trusts."  In  1847,  he  served  upon  a  commission  to  revise  the 
militia  laws  of  the  State;  in  1848,  he  became  the  first  mayor  of 
the  City  of  Worcester;  and  in  1854,  he  was  appointed  to  a  com- 
mission to  examine  into  the  condition  of  the  insane  in  the  com- 
monwealth. For  twenty-eight  years,  1824  to  1852,  he  was 
president  of  the  Worcester  Agricultural  Society,  and  the  number 
of  local  offices  and  appointments  which  he  held  are  too  numerous 
to  record.  He  received  the  degree  of  LL.  D.  from  Williams 
College  in  1824  and  from  Harvard  in  1826.  The  foregoing 
account  of  his  public  life  is  mostly  taken  from  the  ''Genealogy 
of  the  Waldo  Family,"  pp.  276-7.  For  a  detailed  sketch  of  his 
life  and  character,  reference  is  made  to  a  "Memoir  of  Hon. 
Levi  Lincoln,"  published  by  the  Massachusetts  Historical 
Society;  and  a  "Memorial  of  Levi  Lincoln,"  prepared  by  the 
family.  From  these  and  from  prominent  newspapers  pubUshed 
at  the  time  of  his  death  the  following  characterization  has  been 
extracted. 

The  zeal  and  energy  with  which  he  entered  into  the  business 
of  his  profession  earned  him  a  merited  success,  and  the  skill 
with  which  he  conducted  the  cases  entrusted  to  him  won  him  a 
position,  in  a  few  years,  among  the  leaders  of  the  Worcester  bar, 
at  a  time  when  that  bar  was  noted  for  the  character  and  talents 
of  its  members.  His  success  before  a  jury  was  particularly 
notable,  though  in  argument  before  the  court  he  showed  great 
ability.  The  duties  and  the  rewards  of  the  profession  alike 
appealed  to  him,  and  he  never  forgot  the  period  during  which 
he  was  connected  with  it,  nor  abandoned  until  late  in  life  the 
idea  of  returning  to  it. 

The  public  applauded  his  selection  for  the  Supreme  Court, 
to  which  he  was  appointed  while  lieutenant-governor,  a  non- 


280  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

partisan  assignment  which  marked  the  cessation  of  the  bitter 
political  feeling  which  had  divided  the  people  for  many  years. 
As  a  young  man  Mr.  Lincoln  was,  like  his  father,  a  zealous 
''republican"  and  through  his  eloquence,  popular  address  and 
family  connection  became  one  of  the  prominent  men  of  that 
party.  This  prominence  attracted  to  him,  in  the  bitter  partisan 
politics  of  that  day,  considerable  censure  from  those  opposed 
to  him.  In  1814,  being  in  the  minority  in  the  legislature,  he 
opposed  the  resolution  which  called  the  Hartford  convention 
and  drew  up  the  protest  against  it,  which  was  signed  by  seventy- 
five  members  besides  himself,  yet  this  protest  was  refused  a 
place  upon  the  Journal  of  the  House.  By  1820,  however,  this 
political  harshness  had  largely  ceased  and,  in  1822,  he  was 
elected  speaker  of  a  House  of  different  politics  from  himself, 
in  which  office  few  have  equalled  him  in  the  qualities  which 
constitute  an  able  and  acceptable  speaker.  In  1824,  party  feeling 
in  Massachusetts  had  practically  disappeared  and,  on  the  death 
of  Governor  Eustis  in  the  following  year,  Mr.  Lincoln,  who 
declined  a  Democratic  nomination  in  order  not  to  interfere  with 
concordant  action  by  the  two  parties,  received  a  unanimous 
vote  as  candidate  for  governor  in  the  federal  convention,  which 
had  voted  not  to  make  a  party  nomination.  He  thus  became 
the  governor  of  the  State  without  entangling  party  obligations, 
and  that  he  performed  its  duties  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  people 
is  evident  from  the  uninterrupted  succession  of  his  elections, 
practically  without  opposition,  until  his  voluntary  withdrawal 
from  being  longer  a  candidate,  in  1833. 

In  1827,  he  received  in  the  State  senate  twenty-six  out  of 
thirty-nine  votes  for  United  States  senator,  but  before  the 
House  could  concur  he  positively  declined  to  be  a  candidate, 
with  the  result  that  Daniel  Webster  was  elected  at  the  next 
session  of  the  legislature.  Had  Mr.  Lincoln  accepted  the  office 
the  whole  course  of  history  might  have  been  changed.  For  an 
interesting  speculation  on  this  topic  by  the  late  Senator  Hoar 
see  Mass.  Hist.  Soc.  Collections,  Ser.  2,  vol.  xv,  pp.  233-7. 

As  a  Congressman  he  displayed  the  same  dihgence,  attention 
to  business  and  independence  of  action  which  characterized  him 
as  governor.  He  was  a  frequent  debater,  and  some  of  his  speeches 
were  pubhshed.     The  House  respected  him,  and  he  respected 


SIXTH    GENERATION  281 

it  by  never  indulging  in  bitter  language  or  undignified  retort; 
and  as  he  was  always  well  prepared  on  the  subject  which  he 
discussed  and  was  never  prolix  or  dull  he  could  always  command 
attention. 

He  had  the  distinction  shared  by  few  public  men,  of  being 
chosen  to  his  highest  offices  independently  of  party  votes,  and  of 
being  the  medium  through  which  old  party  issues  ceased  to  have 
vitality,  but  he  had  political  principles  and  he  never  concealed 
or  yielded  them.  Some  of  his  remarks  on  representation  were 
quite  as  advanced  as  anything  that  is  known  at  the  present  day. 
In  the  constitutional  convention  of  1820  he  said:  ''Our  govern- 
ment is  one  of  the  people,  not  a  government  of  property.  Rep- 
resentation is  founded  on  the  interests  of  the  people.  It  is 
because  they  have  rights  that  they  have  assumed  the  power  of 
self  government.  Property  is  incompetent  to  sustain  a  free 
government.  In  a  government  of  freemen,  property  is  valuable 
only  as  the  people  are  intelligent.  Were  it  not  for  a  government 
of  the  people,  the  people  would  be  without  property.  But  it  is 
contended  that  this  system  is  justified  by  another  principle. 
Representation  and  taxation  have  been  described  as  twin 
brothers.  But  this  principle  has  not  been  fully  understood.  It 
does  not  follow  that  there  shall  be  an  unequal  representation, 
that  taxation  may  be  represented.  It  is  only  necessary  that  all 
who  are  taxed  should  be  represented,  and  not  that  they  should 
be  represented  in  proportion  to  their  tax.'' 

His  great  interest  in  agriculture  was  shown  as  president  of  the 
Agricultural  Society  and  in  his  admirably  managed  farm.  His 
interest  in  education  was  manifested  in  various  ways.  He  was 
president  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Leicester  Academy,  over- 
seer of  Harvard  College,  one  of  the  founders  of  the  American 
Antiquarian  Society  of  which  he  was  vice-president  at  his  death, 
but  beyond  public  and  official  addresses  and  messages  he  left 
little  that  was  published.  His  messages  were  full,  clear  and 
direct,  but  sometimes  diffuse.  His  manner  was  easy,  graceful 
and  dignified,  though  at  times  it  partook  somewhat  of  the  stately. 
He  was  always  self-possessed  and,  in  private,  was  free,  social,  and 
often  playful.  He  was  not  capable  of  doing  a  rude  or  ungentle- 
manly  act  from  carelessness,  bad  temper,  or  want  of  familiarity 
with  good  breeding.    His  form  was  erect,  his  step  firm  and  elastic, 


282  LINCOLN   GENEALOGY 

and  all  his  movements  were  graceful.  His  bearing  was  that  of  a 
gentleman  of  the  old  school,  and  he  was  never  betrayed  into 
language  or  conduct  unbecoming  one  of  that  class.  Several  por- 
traits of  him  exist;  the  best,  by  Chester  Harding,  taken  when  he 
was  governor,  is  in  possession  of  his  grandson  Waldo  Lincoln, 
the  compiler  of  this  genealogy. 

He  married,  Sept.  6,  1807,  at  Worcester,  Penelope- Winslow^, 
daughter  of  William^  (William'^,  Nicholas^,  Caleh'^,  Robert^)  and 
Mary  (Chandler)  Sever  of  Kingston,  Mass.,  and  Worcester,  born 
July  21,  1786,  at  Worcester;  died  Apr.  2,  1872,  at  Worcester. 
She  was  sixth  in  descent  from  Governor  Edward  Winslow  of  Ply- 
mouth, Mass.,  and  was  descended  in  the  same  degree  from 
Herbert  Pelham,  first  treasurer  of  Harvard  College,  whose 
daughter  Penelope  married  Edward  Winslow's  son  Josiah,  who 
was  also  governor  of  Plymouth.  Herbert  Pelham  through  his 
mother  Penelope  West,  daughter  of  Thomas  West,  Lord  Dela- 
ware, was  of  most  distinguished  lineage,  her  descent  being  clearly 
and  indisputably  traced,  through  the  Plantagenet  kings,  to 
Alfred  the  Great  and  the  Saxon  kings  of  England.  Mrs.  Lincoln 
was  on  her  mother's  side  also  of  distinguished  American  ancestry, 
the  Chandlers  having  been  for  many  years  the  leading  family 
of  Worcester  county,  and  the  Severs  being  almost  equally  emi- 
nent in  Plymouth.  Mrs.  Lincoln  was  a  very  capable  woman, 
a  noted  housekeeper  and  cook.  Her  abilities  in  an  emergency 
and  the  resources  of  a  housekeeper  one  hundred  years  ago  are 
exemplified  in  the  following  anecdote.  Governor  Lincoln,  who 
was  much  given  to  entertaining,  included  in  his  invitations  to 
a  dinner  party  the  captain  of  one  of  the  Worcester  militia  com- 
panies, a  pompous  and  self-important  man.  Awaiting  with  his 
wife  the  arrival  of  his  guests,  the  governor  heard  a  drum  ap- 
proaching, and  presently  the  captain  appeared  at  the  head  of  his 
company,  which,  to  the  amazement  of  Mr.  Lincoln,  filed  through 
the  gate  and  continued  to  the  house.  Turning  to  his  wife,  he  said 
in  great  distress,  ''What  shall  we  do,  the  fool  has  brought  his 
whole  company  to  dinner.''  Mrs.  Lincoln  with  perfect  calmness 
replied:  ''Give  yourself  no  concern,  my  dear.  Keep  the  gentle- 
men engaged  for  half  an  hour  and  there  will  be  plenty  for  all." 
She  kept  her  word,  and  the  captain  and  his  company  never  knew 
the  embarrassment  they  occasioned.     A  crayon  portrait  of  her

handsome  woman  and  exceedingly  deaf.  ''She  shared,"  says 
Governor  Emory  Washburn  in  his  memoir  of  Governor  Lin- 
coln, ''the  tastes  and  views  of  her  husband  and  was  a  fit  associate 
and  companion  for  one  who  enjoyed  so  highly  the  comforts  and 
elegancies  of  a  well-ordered  home/'

and  May's  Landing,  Atlantic  county,  N.  J.,  and  at  Succasunna,  N.  J., 
and  was  a  daring  and  successful  physician  and  surgeon.  He  was  collector 
of  the  Port  at  May's  Landing,  and  member  of  the  Council  (State  legis-

aacbc  d.  John- Waldo,  son  of  Levi  (Enoch,  Jedediah,  Samuel, 
Samuel)  and  Martha  (Waldo)  Lincoln  of  Worcester,  Mass.,  born 
June  23,  1787,  at  Worcester;  died  Oct.  2,  1852,  at  Worcester. 
He  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  Worcester,  being 
obliged  to  forego  the  advantages  of  a  collegiate  education  on 
account  of  a  marked  impediment  in  his  speech  which  it  was 
supposed  would  prevent  his  practising  any  of  the  learned  profes- 
sions. He  submitted  without  a  murmur,  but  by  assiduous  prac- 
tice so  far  conquered  the  infirmity  that  in  later  years  no  one 
would  have  suspected  that  he  was  ever  a  sufferer  from  it.  At 
the  age  of  fourteen  he  was  placed  as  an  apprentice  in  the  hard- 
ware store  of  his  uncle  Daniel  Waldo,  and  received  there  a  train- 
ing in  strict  habits  of  business,  which  had  a  marked  influence  upon 
all  his  after  life.  At  the  age  of  twenty-one  he  entered  into  busi- 
ness for  himself  on  Main  street,  a  few  doors  north  of  Central 
street,  and  the  Worcester  ''Spy"  for  Nov.  9,  1808,  contains 
the  following  advertisement: 

''John  Waldo  Lincoln  Informs  his  Friends  and  the  Public, 
that  he  has  commenced  business  in  a  Store,  a  few  rods  south  of 
the  Worcester  Bank  where  he  offers  for  sale  a  handsome  assort- 
ment of  Hardware,  Piece  and  West  India  Goods  As  the  greater 
part  are  of  his  own  importation,  he  flatters  himself  that  he  can 
supply  those  who  may  favor  him  with  their  custom  on  as  rea- 
sonable terms  as  they  can  procure  at  any  Store  in  this  town. 
Worcester  November  7,  1808. 

"Wanted  immediately  at  the  above  Store,  as  an  Apprentice, 
a  Lad  about  fourteen  or  fifteen  years  of  age,  who  can  be  well 
recommended." 

In  February,  1822,  he  gave  up  this  business  and  sold  out  his 
stock  by  auction,  devoting  himself  thereafter  to  agricultural 
pursuits  in  which  he  took  the  greatest  pleasure.  He  inherited 
from  his  father  a  fine  farm  in  the  village  of  Quinsigamond,  and 
owned  also  a  large  sheep  farm  in  Oakham,  Mass.,  where  he  ex- 
perimented in  raising  merino  sheep.  He  contributed  many  arti- 
cles on  agricultural  subjects  to  the  local  newspapers,  and  an 
essay  of  his  on  the  feeding  of  cattle  was  deemed  of  such  dis- 
tinguished merit  that  it  was  republished  in  England.  He  sought 
to  make  his  farm  a  model  and  conducted  advanced  experiments 
in  irrigation,  and  so  competent  was  he  deemed  that  his  appoint- 


SIXTH    GENERATION  285 

ment  as  a  commissioner  on  the  newly  established  board  of 
agriculture,  not  long  before  his  death,  was  considered  a  matter  of 
course.  He  succeeded  his  brother  Levi  as  president  of  the 
Worcester  County  Agricultural  Society  and  was  deeply  in- 
terested in  its  affairs  until  his  death. 

Like  his  father  and  his  brothers  he  was  well  adapted  by  char- 
acter and  disposition  for  public  service;  and  though  not  called 
to  such  distinguished  positions  as  they,  he  performed  all  the 
duties  of  the  several  offices  which  he  filled,  with  a  zeal  and  in- 
tegrity which  won  him  the  love  and  confidence  of  his  fellow 
citizens.  As  a  young  man  he  became  a  member  of  the  Worcester 
Light  Infantry  and  rose  to  be  its  captain,  which  office  he  held 
when  that  company  was  summoned  to  the  defense  of  Boston  on 
Sept.  14,  1814.  It  returned  on  Oct.  31,  following,  after  a  blood- 
less campaign,  but  the  ability  and  promptness  which  Captain 
Lincoln  displayed  on  this  occasion  won  him  the  confidence  and 
regard  of  the  State's  executive.  Three  years  later  Mr.  Lincoln 
became  lieutenant-colonel  of  the  sixth  regiment  of  the  seventh 
division  of  Massachusetts  militia,  which  position  he  retained 
for  several  years;  and  he  continued  through  life  to  take  a  warm 
interest  in  the  militia  and  in  military  affairs.  After  his  death 
the  Worcester  Light  Infantry  passed  a  series  of  resolutions  from 
which  the  following  are  extracted : 

''Resolved,  That  in  him  were  combined  all  the  qualities  of 
gentleman,  citizen  and  soldier.  Always  affable  and  courteous 
as  a  gentleman,  honest,  kind  and  public  spirited  as  a  citizen, 
and  firm  and  patriotic  as  a  soldier,  his  acquaintances  deplore 
the  loss  of  a  most  agreeable  companion,  the  community  an 
efficient  and  devoted  member,  and  we  a  firm  friend,  benevolent 
patron,  and  most  respected  past  commander. 

''Resolved,  That,  under  all  circumstances,  he  has  been  the 
firm  and  consistent  friend  of  the  military  system,  laboring  for 
its  advancement  and  perfection  with  a  characteristic  devotion. 
That  in  him  a  bright  star  has  fallen  from  the  military  constella- 
tion, and  a  firm  pillar  been  taken  from  the  militia  edifice;  but 
the  consolation  remains,  that  his  'good  deeds  live  after  him,' 
which  neither  time  nor  circumstances  can  sully,  but  shall  shine 
with  increasing  lustre  as  time  advances." 

In  1824,  he  was  elected  a  representative  to  the  General  Court, 


286  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

where  he  continued  for  four  years,  and  was  then  sent  to  the 
State  senate,  representing  the  district  there  for  the  five  following 
years,  and  again  served  in  the  House  for  another  year.  During 
much  of  this  time  his  brother  Levi  was  governor  of  the  State. 
He  was  appointed  to  be  one  of  the  commissioners  in  charge  of 
the  construction  of  the  Blackstone  canal,  which  connected 
Worcester  with  Providence,  R.  I.,  and  was  a  member  of  the 
first  board  of  directors  of  the  canal  company.  Of  the  railroad 
company  which  succeeded  to  the  location  and  franchise  of  the 
canal  company  he  was  also  a  director.  He  was  one  of  the  county 
commissioners  from  1836  to  1842,  and  for  many  years  was 
chairman  of  the  board  of  selectmen  of  the  town;  and  when 
Worcester  became  a  city  in  1849,  he  was  a  member  of  the  first 
board  of  aldermen.  From  1844  to  1851,  he  was  high  sheriff  of 
Worcester  county,  by  which  office  he  has  been  best  remembered. 
He  filled  it  with  great  strength,  dignity  and  ability,  introducing 
many  needed  reforms  into  the  management  of  the  jail  and  house 
of  correction  and  improving,  thereby,  the  moral  condition  of 
the  inmates.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  and  the  principal 
benefactor  of  the  Orphan's  Home,  now  the  Worcester  Children's 
Friend  Society,  giving  to  it  a  large  and  commodious  house 
thoroughly  furnished  under  his  own  careful  supervision,  thus 
supplying  evidence  that  though  seemingly  stern  and  unap- 
proachable he  possessed  a  warm  and  sympathetic  heart  which 
was  open  to  the  appeals  of  the  poor  and  needy  and  unfortunate. 
He  is  described  as  **of  medium  height,  of  a  florid  complexion, 
high  forehead  and  erect  carriage,  a  man  of  strong  friendship, 
although  very  undemonstrative  in  expressing  his  feelings." 
After  his  death  a  sermon  was  delivered  by  his  pastor,  Rev.  Alonzo 
Hill,  from  the  text:  "All  ye  that  are  about  him,  bemoan  him; 
and  all  ye  that  know  his  name,  say,  How  is  the  strong  staff 
broken,  and  the  beautiful  rod!"  This  sermon  was  published 
and  from  it  and  from  a  short  sketch  published  in  "Reminiscences 
and  Biographical  Notices  of  the  Worcester  Fire  Society,"  Fifth 
Series,  this  account  of  him  has  been  extracted.  His  portrait  is 
owned  by  the  Worcester  Children's  Friend  Society.  He  was 
never  married.

born  Dec.  28,  1788,  at  Worcester;  died  Oct.  8,  1829,  at  Augusta, 
Me.  He  was  never  married,  though  betrothed  for  several  years 
to  Miss  Mary-Chadbourne  Page  of  Fryeburg,  Me.  The  follow- 
ing account  of  his  life  was  written  by  his  brother  William,  and 
is  taken  from  the  ''History  of  Worcester,"  pp.  244-6,  and  is  a 
good  example  of  the  latter's  terse  and  vigorous  writing.  Other 
biographical  notices  of  Mr.  Lincoln  may  be  found  in  the  ''Maine 
Historical  and  Genealogical  Recorder,"  vol.  iii,  p.  139,  and  in 
the  Worcester  newspapers  published  at  the  time  of  his  death. 

"He  entered  the  sophomore  class  of  Harvard  College  in  1806. 
One  of  those  unhappy  commotions,  which  have  disturbed  the 
repose  of  the  ancient  seat  of  learning  in  Cambridge,  occurred 
in  1808,  and  he  voluntarily  withdrew  from  the  University  during 
his  senior  year.  His  professional  studies  were  pursued  in  the 
office  of  his  brother,  Levi  Lincoln.  He  was  admitted  attorney 
in  1811,  and  commenced  business  in  Salem,  Mass.  In  1812, 
he  returned  to  Worcester,  and  practised  here  until  the  spring 
of  1813,  when  he  settled  in  Fryeburg,  Maine.  While  resident 
there  he  published  'The  Village,'  a  poem  descriptive  of  the 
beautiful  scenery  of  the  fairest  town  on  the  stream  of  the  Saco, 
of  the  wild  and  romantic  region  around,  and  of  the  social  con- 
dition of  the  population  of  the  youthful  state.*  In  1815  he  was 
appointed  deputy  by  Hon.  William  P.  Preble,  then  District 
Attorney  of  the  United  States.  In  1819,  he  was  elected  to 
Congress,  and  removed  to  Paris,  the  capital  of  the  county.  He 
continued  to  represent  the  district  of  Oxford  in  the  national 
legislature  until  1826.  He  was  elected  governor  of  Maine  for 
three  years  succeeding  that  date,  with  the  approbation  of  the 
two  political  parties,  and  with  unanimity  almost  unprecedented 
in  times  of  feverish  excitement.  In  the  spring  of  1829,  he  de-

visited  Augusta,  to  address  the  Female  Academy,  founded  there 
by  a  philanthropic  citizen.  Suffering  from  severe  sickness, 
the  performance  of  the  task  exhausted  his  strength,  and  he 
became  a  martyr  to  the  effort.  He  retired  from  the  exercises 
to  the  house  of  a  friend,  where  he  died,  three  days  after,  at  the 
age  of  forty  years. 

''His  proclamations  were  marked  with  purity  and  expansive 
liberality  of  sentiment,  and  terse  felicity  of  expression.*  Official 
correspondence,  vindicating,  with  decision  and  dignity,  the 
rights  of  the  state,  was  published  among  the  documents  of  the 
contested  north  eastern  boundary.  His  contributions  to  the 
press  were  characterized  by  singular  elegance  of  style,  masculine 
energy  of  thought,  and  comprehensive  views.  An  extended  work, 
illustrative  of  the  history  and  resources  of  Maine  was  left  un- 
finished in  manuscript. t 

"In  his  moral  constitution  there  were  elements  brighter  than 
gifts  of  genius.  Overflowing  kindness  of  disposition,  ready  to 
do  good  to  every  human  being,  was  associated  with  rectitude  of 
judgment,  and  united  to  qualities  giving  to  benevolence  its 
highest  value.  The  stedfast  sense  of  justice  was  never  debased 
by  personal  interest  or  feeling,  or  darkened  by  sectarian  or  party 
prejudice.  Manly  intrepidity,  fearing  nothing  but  the  con- 
sciousness of  doing  wrong,  was  unshaken  by  the  dread  of  un- 
deserved censure  or  popular  excitement." 

Mr.  Lincoln  was  buried  with  military  honors,  in  a  tomb  erected 
for  the  purpose,  on  the  grounds  adjoining  the  State  House  at 
Augusta.  One  company  of  artillery,  one  of  riflemen,  and  four  of 
light  infantry  performed  the  escort  duties,  and  a  funeral  oration 
was  pronounced  by  Rev.  Dr.  Nichols  of  Portland.  During  the 
movement  of  the  procession  the  bells  were  tolled  and  minute 
guns  were  fired.  It  was  estimated  that  as  many  as  four  thousand 
people  attended,  a  larger  number  than  had  ever  been  collected 
in  Augusta  on  any  previous  occasion. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  town  of  Portland  the 
following  vote  was  passed : 

*0ne  of  his  Thanksgiving  proclamations  was  so  brief  and  comprehensive  and  was  so  popular 
that  it  was  printed  by  his  admirers  on  satin  for  general  circulation. 

t"  His  poetical  lucubrations  appeared  in  the  'National  Aegis'  at  Worcester  over  his  signa- 
ture 'Zeno'  and  in  the  'Patriot'  at  Boston  in  1809,  over  that  of  'Sylvester.'  They  were  of  a 
satirical  character.  The  former  gave  offense  to  his  female  friends.  At  a  later  period  he  por- 
trayed the  character  of  women  in  better  terms."     (Jennison  Papers  in  Am.  Ant.  Soc.  library.)

''Whereas  it  has  pleased  the  Almighty  Ruler  of  the  Universe 
in  a  sudden  and  affecting  manner  to  remove  by  death  one  of  our 
fellow  citizens,  who  by  the  purity  of  his  heart  and  the  benevolence 
of  his  character  has  endeared  himself  to  all  who  know  him;  and  as 
this  highly  respectable  individual  has  for  several  years  enjoyed 
the  highest  honors  the  State  could  bestow,  it  seems  highly  proper 
that  this  town  should  join  in  the  respect  to  be  paid  to  his  memory, 
it  is  therefore 

''Voted:  that  as  a  tribute  of  respect  to  the  memory  of  Gover- 
nor Lincoln,  the  Selectmen  and  Representatives  of  this  town  be 
requested  to  attend  his  funeral  at  Augusta,  and  that  such  further 
measures  be  adopted  to  express  the  deep  sense  which  the  in- 
habitants feel  on  this  mournful  occasion,  as  the  Selectmen  may 
think  proper." 

In  accordance  with  the  foregoing  the  selectman  passed  the 
following  votes,  at  a  meeting  held  Oct.  15,  1829: 

"Voted,  to  recommend  that  the  bells  of  the  several  churches  in 
town  should  be  tolled  on  Thursday  next,  the  day  of  the  funeral  of 
Governor  Enoch  Lincoln  at  Augusta,  from  one  o'clock  till  sunset 
— and  that  the  citizens  be  requested  to  suspend  their  business 
in  the  afternoon  of  said  day,  and  that  it  be  also  recommended  to 
hoist  the  flags  of  the  shipping  in  the  harbor  on  half  mast  as  on 
Saturday  last. 

"Voted,  that  the  preceding  recommendation  be  published  in 
the  several  papers  printed  in  this  town." 

An  oil  portrait  of  Mr.  Lincoln  by  an  unknown  artist  is  in  the

In  the  following  year  he  formed  a  partnership  with  his  brother-

was  much  interested  in  antiquarian  research,  and  was  at  various

relating  to  Worcester  county.  In  1837  he  published  a  "History 
of  Worcester";  a  very  complete  and  accurate  history  of  the 
town  from  its  settlement  to  that  year,  which  still  continues  to 
be  the  standard  book  of  reference  for  local  historical  students. 
In  1837  and  1838,  he  edited,  under  the  authority  of  the  State 
legislature,  "The  Journals  of  each  Provincial  Congress  of  Massa- 
chusetts in  1774  and  1775,  and  of  the  Committee  of  Safety,"  a 
volume  of  738  pages.  From  1832  until  his  death  he  was  secretary 
of  the  Worcester  County  Institution  for  Savings.  From  1835 
to  1840,  he  was  a  member  of  the  State  legislature  and,  in  1838, 
was  appointed  a  trustee  of  the  State  Lunatic  Hospital  at  Wor- 
cester. He  was  a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  So- 
ciety and  was  connected  with  many  other  societies  and  institu- 
tions, before  which  he  was  a  frequent  speaker,  though  but  few  { 
of  his  addresses  and  poems  (of  which  it  is  known  that  he  wrote 
some)  are  now  extant.  He  began  his  public  speaking  at  the  early 
age  of  fourteen  when  he  delivered  an  oration,  July  4,  1816,  "in 
commemoration  of  American  Independence,"  which  was  printed. 
He  was  an  active  member  of  the  Worcester  Agricultural  Society, 
and  for  several  years  was  chairman  of  the  judges  of  swine,  his 
reports  as  such  being  "crisp  and  luscious  as  the  choicest  bits 
which  those  animals  furnish  for  the  table."  The  following  ex- 
tracts from  one  of  those  reports  show  his  humorous  style : 

"Massachusetts  is  a  glorious  commonwealth.  Her  renown 
heretofore  has  been  wreathed  with  the  valor  of  her  warriors,  the 
wisdom  of  her  statesmen,  and  the  worth  of  her  citizens.  If 
hereafter,  in  the  vicissitudes  of  human  affairs,  patriotism  shall 
grow  faint,  and  public  and  private  virtue  become  impaired,  the 


SIXTH    GENERATION  291 

fame  of  our  own  beloved  State  may  rest  secure  on  the  greatness 
of  her  pigs;  and  the  lustre  of  her  people,  if  unhappily  it  grows 
dim,  be  rekindled  by  the  solid  excellence  of  the  inmates  of  the 
pens.   .    .    . 

''In  approaching  the  pleasant  society  of  females,  the  loveliness 
of  form  and  feature,  sometimes  leads  admiration  away  from  the 
handsomeness  of  doings  to  the  grace  of  beings.  The  incorrupti- 
bleness  of  the  court  permitted  no  such  seduction.     The  sow  of 

Messrs appeared  before  them  with  ten  'sweet  pledges'  of 

maternal  affection,  frolicking  merrily,  and  taking  the  young 
responsibility  of  feeding  plentifully.  The  venerable  matron, 
mother  of  this  decimal  family  of  suckers,  who  played  over  and 
around  her,  of  the  greatest  boar  of  the  festival,  and  of  another 
troop  of  chubby,  white-haired  children,  was  thrice  blessed  in 
being  worthy  of  the  first  premium  of  five  dollars.     The  second 

premium  was  awarded  to  Mr. for  a  sow,  beginning  life 

by  acquiring  the  rudiments  of  good  breeding  in  Holden,  and 
subsequently  gaining  legal  settlement  in  Worcester." 

Mr.  Lincoln  is  described  as  of  medium  height,  of  well-knit 
frame  and  sprightly  gait,  with  keen  and  twinkling  eyes  and 

i  dignified  and  affable  manner.     He  was  never  married  though 
^'  iat  one  time  betrothed.     The  only  portrait  ever  taken  of  him 
was  a  miniature  which  was,  at  one  time,  in  the  possession  of  his 

J  fiancee,  but  no  trace  of  it  has  been  found  for  many  years.     A 

i notice  which  appeared  in  the   ''Massachusetts  Spy"  of  Oct. 
11,  1843,  thus  speaks  of  him: 

"Liberally  gifted  by  nature,  accompHshed  by  varied  study, 
and  prodigal  of  personal  toil,  the  midnight  lamp  now  lighted 
him  along  the  bye-paths  of  learning  into  trackless  corners  and 
antiquated  haunts,  and  now  gleamed  upon  the  page  that  sparkled 
with  the  pungent  wit  and  lively  humor  of  his  flowing  composi- 
tions. .  .  .  He  has  sown  broadcast  the  seeds  of  meritorious 
recollections,  which  spring  up  and  overshadow  all  others;  and 
when  those  who  remember  him  with  affection  shall  be  beside 
him  in  the  grave,  his  works  will  remain  a  graceful  and  honorable 

^'memorial  of  his  abihties."

March  29,  1783,  at  Boston;  died  Aug.  27,  1849,  at  Boston.  He 
became  a  crockery  merchant,  with  his  place  of  business  on  Long 
Wharf  and  afterwards,  for  the  greater  part  of  his  business  Hfe, 
on  India  Wharf.  At  the  time  of  his  marriage  he  lived  on  Nassau 
street  but,  later,  removed  successively  to  South  Bennett,  Essex, 
Kneeland  and  Dover  streets  and  was  living  in  the  last  named 
when  he  died.  In  1846,  he  was  appointed  superintendent  of 
burials,  and  in  that  year  he  is  described  in  the  City  Directory 
as  ''undertaker."  He  held  the  office  until  about  three  months 
before  his  death,  when  he  resigned  on  account  of  ill  health.  He 
was  a  member  of  the  Boston  Light  Infantry  in  1814.

Samuel)  and  Deborah  (Revere)  Lincoln  of  Boston,  Mass.,  born 
March  4,  1787,  at  Boston;  died  Dec.  20,  1827,  at  Boston.  He 
was  a  sail  maker,  having  his  loft  successively  on  Howards  wharf, 
Lewis  wharf  and  Eustis  wharf  in  Boston.  According  to  the 
Boston  directory  for  1816,  his  house  was  then  on  North  street, 
but  no  residence  is  given  in  other  years,  and  from  probate  records 
it  is  probable  that  he  lived  during  most  of  those  years  in  Charles- 
town,  Mass. 

He  married  (1),  May  20,  1810,  at  Boston,  Rebecca-Hill  Butler, 
who  was  born  1786,  and  died  Nov.  6,  1812,  at  Boston,  ''aged  26 
years."  She  is  buried,  as  are  her  husband  and  his  second  wife,  in 
lot  Number  7,  Copps  Hill  burying  ground. 

He  married  (2),  Nov.  26,  1815,  at  Burlington,  Mass.,  Mary- 
Hathorne  Knight,  who  is  called  ''of  Burlington''  in  Woburn 
records  where  her  marriage  is  recorded.  She  died  May  23,  1825, 
at  Boston,  but  the  Boston  records  describe  her  as  "from  Canton, 
Mass." 

He  married  (3),  Jan.  22,  1826,  at  Burlington,  Abigail-Reed, 
daughter  of  Samuel  and  Mary  (Reed)  Walker  of  Burlington, 
born  July  3,  1801,  at  BurHngton;  died  Aug.  24,  1885,  at  Woburn, 
Mass.,  "aged  84  years,  1  month,  21  days."  She  married  (2), 
Oct.  3,  1833,  at  Charlestown,  James,  son  of  David  and  Mary 
(Frothingham)  Fosdick  of  Charlestown,  born  Jan.  8,  1789,  at 
Charlestown;  died  there  Sept.  26,  1854.  They  had  two  children: 
Mary-Abby,  born  Oct.  25,  1834,  and  Lincoln,  who  died  June  9, 
1843,  aged  4  years,  8  months.    Mr.  Fosdick's  first  wife,  by  whom 


294  LINCOLN   GENEALOGY 

he  had  seven  children  and  who  died  in  1833,  was  Sophia  Goodell. 
(Boston  Records;  Woburn  Records;  Estates  &  Gen.'s  of  Charles- 
town,  vol.  i,  p.  358.)  Mr.  Lincoln  had  no  children  by  his  first 
and  third  wives. 

January  8,  1828,  Abigail  R.  Lincoln  of  Charlestown  represents 
that  Louis  Lincoln,  sail  maker,  who  last  dwelt  in  Charlestown 
within  one  year  last  past  died  intestate  .  .  .  that  she  is  the 
widow  of  said  deceased  and  asks  to  be  appointed  administratrix. 
She  was  so  appointed  and  gave  bonds  with  Francis  Lincoln  of 
Boston  and  Frederic  W.  Lincoln  of  Canton  as  sureties.  Her 
account  shows  that  one  third  of  the  estate  was  retained  by  her  as 
widow  and  two  thirds  was  paid  to  Frederic  W.  Lincoln  as  guar- 
dian of  the  two  children  and  heirs  of  said  deceased. 

February  19, 1828,  Frederic  W.  Lincoln  certified  ''that  Frederick 
W.  Lincoln  and  Harriet  M.  Lincoln  are  minors  under  the  age  of 
14  years  and  children  of  Louis  Lincoln,  late  of  Charlestown, 
sail  maker,  dec'd ;  that  the  mother  of  said  minors  is  also  deceased, 
that  the  Pet'r  is  the  uncle  of  said  minors^'  and  asked  to  be  appointed  :

his  death,  as  a  "painter,"  living  on  Prince  street,  corner  of  Hano- 
ver, with  his  shop  at  61  Ann  street.  In  1828,  however,  he  is 
called  a  "grocer"  at  137  Ann  street,  his  residence  being  as  before. 
He  was  buried  in  Copps  Hill  burying  ground. 

He  married,  Nov.  9,  1817,  at  Marblehead,  Mass.,  Rebecca- 
Trevett,  daughter  of  Jonathan-Glover  and  Sally  (Trevett)  Bartol, 
of  Marblehead,  born  Apr.  24,  1798,  at  Marblehead;  died  Jan.  5, 
1858,  at  Boston,  "aged  65  years"  say  Massachusetts  Vital 
Records.  She  married  (2),  Apr.  14,  1839,  at  Boston,  by  Rev. 
Thomas  M.  Clark,  Philip  Brown  and  had  a  daughter  Rebecca, 
who  is  said  to  have  married  Jerome  Redding  of  Boston.  (Boston

Boston  records,  in  which  either  her  age  is  wrongly  given  or  there  is  an 
error  in  the  date  of  baptism. 

Note:  In  the  absence  of  birth  records  the  following  probate  records 
are  valuable:  Dec.  14,  1829,  Nathan  Josselyn,  aacbe  k,  of  Quincy,  Mass. 
petitioned  to  be  appointed  guardian  of  Amos  and  Samuel  T.  Lincoln, 
minors  under  fourteen,  children  of  Amos  Lincoln,  late  of  Boston.  Re- 
becca T.  Lincoln,  the  mother,  joined  in  the  request.  February  22,  1836, 
Rebecca  T,  Lincoln,  widow,  petitioned  to  be  appointed  guardian  of 
Amos  and  Samuel  T.  Lincoln,  her  children,  over  fourteen.  (Suffolk

born  June  12,  1796,  at  Boston;  died  Jan.  10,  1871,  at  Boston, 
after  a  brief  illness  of  three  days.  He  lived  at  Boston  but  had 
a  summer  home  at  Canton,  Mass.,  near  the  works  of  the  Revere 
Copper  company,  with  whose  business  he  was  for  many  years 
identified  in  connection  with  the  late  Mr.  Joseph  W.  Revere. 
In  his  younger  days  he  was  an  active  Whig  and  took  a  deep 
interest  in  military  affairs.  He  was  senior  aid-de-camp  to 
-Governor  Emory  Washburn,  whence  he  derived  the  title  of 
Colonel,  by  which  he  was  thereafter  always  known.  He  held 
imany  other  offices  of  honor  and  public  trust,  and  in  private  life

was  much  esteemed,  while  his  business  was  characterized  by  in- 
tegrity and  frankness.     (Boston  Daily  Advertiser,  Jan.  12,  1871.) 

He  married,  August,  1819,  at  Boston,  AmeHa,  daughter  of 
John-Day  and  Lucy  (Clark)  Howard  of  Boston,  born  Nov.  6,

the  family  records  of  Frederic- Walker  Lincoln,  Jr.,  aache  dab, 
but  Massachusetts  Vital  Records  and  her  gravestone  at  Mount 
Auburn  say  she  died  March  25.  She  was  probably  a  niece  of 
Mrs.  Martha  (Howard)  Robb,  the  third  wife  of  Amos  Lincoln 
and  step-mother  of  Frederic- Walker  Lincoln. 

They  had  no  children.

according  to  his  gravestone  though  the  cemetery  records  say 
July  28,  but  this  is  probably  the  date  of  burial.  Mr.  Lincoln 
removed  to  Bath  before  his  marriage  and  was  a  sail  maker, 
being  so  described  in  a  deed,  dated  June  9,  1836,  in  which  he  and 
his  wife  Hannah  S.  conveyed  an  estate  in  Bath.  (Sagadahoc 
County  Deeds,  vol.  xii,  f.  465).  He  left  no  will,  and  administra- 
tion on  his  estate  was  granted  to  Hannah  S.  Lincoln,  his  widow, 
Aug.  20,  1839.  (Lincoln  County  Probate  Records,  vol.  xxxix, 
p.  283.) 

He  married,  July  25,  1822,  at  Bath,  Hannah-Sprague,  daughter  ( 
of  Atherton  and  Caroline  (Sprague)  Wales,  who  were  probably 
of  Damariscotta,  Me.  She  was  born  in  1798  and  died  Apr.  16, 
1867,  at  Bath,  ''aged  69  years."  She  married  (2),  Oct.  9,  1857, ' 
at  Bath,  Deacon  David,  son  of  Henry  and  Sarah  (Henry)  Sewall 
of  Bath,  born  Feb.  6,  1780;  died  Nov.  24,  1869,  at  Bath.  His 
first  wife,  who  was  named  EHzabeth  C,  died  Dec.  27,  1855,  at 
Bath,  ''aged  seventy  three  years,  two  months." 

Mr.  Lincoln  and  four  of  his  children  are  buried  in  Maplegrove

Mass.,  since  on  March  8,  1825,  he,  being  then  described  as 
"cordwainer  of  Townsend,"  with  Sibyl,  his  wife,  conveyed  land 
and  buildings  in  Townsend.  They  probably  removed  about  this 
time  to  Ashby,  Mass.,  and  there  remained  until  the  Spring  of 
1852,  being  described  in  deeds  dated  June  29,  1846,  Dec.  9,  1847,

which  deeds  he,  with  his  wife  Sibyl,  conveyed  real  estate  in 
Ashby.  On  Sept.  2,  1852,  however,  they  conveyed  24  acres  in  the 
west  part  of  Townsend,  being  then  described  as  ''of  Winchendon, 
Mass."  On  Oct.  28,  1853,  being  still  "of  Winchendon,"  they 
conveyed  21  acres  in  Ashby;  and  Apr.  13,  1860,  Leavitt  Lincoln 
of  Winchendon  and  Sibyl  his  wife  conveyed  land  and  appur- 
tenances one  half  mile  south  of  Ashby  meeting  house.  (Middle-

he  appears  to  have  lived  until  the  death  of  his  first  wife,  he 
returned  to  New  Ipswich  and  probably  continued  to  live  there 
until  his  death.

born  June  13,  1798,  at  Falmouth;  died  May  9,  1882,  at  Brookhne, 
Mass.,  ''aged  83  years,  11  months."  At  the  age  of  seventeen  he 
entered  the  employ  of  Mr.  Leonard  French,  a  noted  grocer  of 
Boston,  whose  daughter  he  afterwards  married.  He  began 
business  on  his  own  account  at  an  early  age,  being  engaged  in 
the  grocery  business  until  1831,  when  he  formed  a  partnership 
with  his  brother  William,  under  the  name  of  H.  &  W.  Lincoln, 
to  do  a  commission  business,  largely  from  Nantucket  and  New 
Bedford.  In  1838,  William  left  the  firm  and  Henry  continued 
the  business  with  Mr.  Pliny  E.  Kingman,  being  successful  for 
several  years  but  eventually  meeting  with  reverses  which  resulted 
in  the  loss  of  all  his  property.  Having  settled  satisfactorily 
with  his  creditors,  he  formed  a  partnership  with  his  son,  William- 
Henry,  and  established  a  line  of  southern  packets  in  which 
business  he  was  quite  successful. 

He  served  for  several  years,  1835-6,  1850-2,  as  a  member  of 
the  Common  Council  from  wards  four  and  six,  and  was  a  director 
of  the  Asylum  for  the  Insane  at  South  Boston.    When  in  active 


SIXTH   GENERATION  309 

business  he  was  a  director  in  the  North  Bank  and  in  the  New 
England  Marine  Insurance  Company,  and  a  trustee  of  the 
Seamen's  Friend  Society.  He  was  a  merchant  of  the  old  school 
and  was  always  regarded  as  a  standard  of  mercantile  integrity. 
He  commanded  the  respect  of  all  who  knew  him,  and  was  often 
called  on  to  arbitrate  cases  of  claims  difficult  of  settlement. 
In  private  life  his  genial,  kindly  nature  attracted  troops  of 
friends,  his  life  was  a  bright  example  of  the  power  of  faith,  and 
as  a  friend  and  neighbor  he  was  ever  true  and  kind.  (From  a 
newspaper  obituary.) 

He  married,  Aug.  5,  1832,  at  Boston,  Charlotte-Ann-Lewis, 
daughter  of  Leonard  and  Charlotte  (Lewis)  French  of  Boston, 
born  March  5,  1813,  at  Boston;  died  May  21,  1891,  at  Brookline, 
''aged  78  years,  2  months,  16  days." 

They  lived  in  Boston,  on  Hancock  street,  until  1856,  when 
they  removed  to  Longwood  in  Brookline.  (Boston  Records; 
Mass.  Vital  Records,  in  which  Mrs.  Lincoln  is  erroneously  called 
''Caroline.")

at  Bath;  died  March  28,  1866,  at  New  York,  N.  Y.  ''He  graduated  at 
Bowdoin  College  in  1839  and  in  early  life  practised  law.  His  attention 
being  directed  to  commercial  law,  and  the  adjudication  of  marine  losses, 
he  soon  became  an  expert  in  such  matters,  and  removed  to  Boston  where 
his  attainments  at  once  found  a  wider  field.  Soon  after  his  removal 
here  he  entered  upon  an  extensive  mercantile  business,  and  the  firm  of 
which  he  was  a  member"  (Page,  Richardson  &  Company)  "immediately 
became  prominent.  Mr.  Richardson  was  a  very  intelligent,  high-toned 
merchant,  noted  for  his  enterprise,  sagacity,  foresight,  and  decision  of 
character."  (Boston  Evening  Transcript,  March  29,  1866.)  He  went 
to  New  York  on  business  the  Friday  before  his  death  in  usual  health, 
and  on  Sunday  had  a  dangerous  attack  of  congestion  of  the  lungs  which 
proved  fatal.  He  lived  at  Brookline.  (Richardson  Memorial,  p.  627;

aacdc  g.  William,  son  of  Henry  {William,  Jedediah,  Samuel,

born  March  7,  1808,  at  Falmouth;  died  May  23,  1901,  at  Brook- 
line,  Mass.,  being  the  oldest  inhabitant  of  that  town.  The 
following  account  of  him  is  from  the  Boston  ''Evening  Tran- 
script" of  May  24,  1901: 

"After  spending  some  time  in  the  Falmouth  schools  he  went 
to  Derby  Academy,  Hingham,  Mass.,  and  was  there  graduated 
in  1821,  having  been  fitted  for  college  when  he  was  only  thirteen 
years  old.  He  did  not  go  to  college,  however,  but  went  into 
Deacon  James  Loring's  printing  office  in  Boston.  After  serving 
a  year  in  the  office  he  went  West  and,  later,  took  a  position  in 
John  Butterfield's  store  in  Caledonia,  N.  Y.  In  1826  he  returned 
to  Boston  and  worked  in  the  store  of  Joshua  Sears.  In  1829  he 
entered  the  commission  business  on  his  own  account,  dealing  in 
Nantucket  and  New  Bedford  oil,  and  built  up  an  extensive  trade. 
From  1831  to  1837,  he  was  associated  in  this  business  with  his 
brother  Henry,  but  in  the  latter  year  he  sold  out  to  his  brother 
and,  joining  with  Major  John  Littlefield  at  Central  wharf,  estab- 
lished the  New  Orleans  packet  line,  which  soon  became  the 
principal  line  of  Boston. 

''When  the  gold  fever  broke  out  in  Cahfornia  in  1849,  he 


312  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

severed  his  connection  with  the  Kne  and,  with  his  brother, 
formed  Hnes  of  packets  to  CaHfornia  and  Australia.  He  built 
and  sailed  twenty  ships  and  barques,  retaining  the  managing 
interest  in  all  of  them.  Finally  the  business  proving  somewhat 
disastrous,  he  returned  to  the  oil  business.  At  this  time  ex- 
tensive discoveries  in  oil  and  petroleum  wells  were  made,  and 
Mr.  Lincoln  was  the  second  man  to  go  into  the  manufacture  of 
coal  oil  in  this  country,  forming  a  partnership  with  William  D. 
Philbrick,  establishing  an  agency  in  Titusville  and  building  a 
refinery  at  East  Boston.  After  the  dissolution  of  the  firm  Mr. 
Lincoln  built  a  large  plant  in  East  Cambridge.  The  business 
required  the  equipment  of  a  fleet  of  schooners  to  ply  between 
Boston  and  Philadelphia  for  the  transportation  of  petroleum. 
In  1872  the  factory  was  destroyed  by  fire,  and  then  Mr.  Lincoln 
and  his  son,  William-Edwards,  entered  the  real  estate  business 
in  which  they  afterwards  continued. 

*'For  about  forty-five  years  Mr.  Lincoln  lived  in  Brookline, 
whither  he  removed  from  Boston  in  1856.  For  eighteen  years 
he  was  an  assessor,  and  for  most  of  the  time  chairman  of  the 
board.  He  was  one  of  the  committee  of  citizens  to  superintend 
the  building  of  the  town  hall,  for  many  years  he  was  a  director 
of  the  Brookline  Savings  Bank,  and  for  forty  years  was  deacon 
of  the  Harvard  Congregational  church." 

He  married,  Apr.  7,  1840,  at  Boston,  Mary-Moore,  daughter 
of  David  and  Mary  (Moore)  Francis  of  Boston,  born  Nov.  13, 
1814,  at  Boston;  died  Dec.  1,  1870,  at  Brookline.  Her  father, 
a  native  of  Boston,  was  of  the  noted  book  firm  of  Munroe  and 
Francis.  Her  mother  was  a  native  of  Charlestown,  Mass.  (Bos-

university,  taking  the  degree  of  A.B.  in  1861,  and  those  of  A.M.  and 
M.D.  in  1864.  He  served  in  the  United  States  navy  in  1862,  and  was 
acting  assistant  surgeon  for  eighteen  months;  was  house  surgeon  at 
Boston  city  hospital  1864-5;  studied  in  Berlin  and  Vienna  1865-7;  prac- 
tised his  profession  as  specialist  until  1881;  and  then,  for  a  number  of 
years,  was  lecturer  at  Hobart  college.  Since  1893,  he  has  lived  at  Boston. 
He  is  the  author  of  several  works  on  hygiene;  "Electro-Therapeutics," 
1874;  "School  and  Industrial  Hygiene,"  1880;  "Hygienic  Physiology," 
1893;  "Sanity  of  Mind,"  1900;  and  has  contributed  minor  articles  on

tively rare,  he  wrote  the  ''History  of  Hingham,''  a  small  volume

Mass.,  born  Aug.  14,  1799,  at  Cohasset;  died  Oct.  20,  1890, 
at  Cohasset.  He  was  a  farmer  and  lived  at  Cohasset  on  South 
Main  street,  in  a  house  which  he  built  just  south  of  his  father's. 
He  acquired  the  title  of  ''captain"  from  service  in  the  State 
militia,  in  which  he  was  an  officer  from  1823  to  1830,  being 
commissioned  ensign,  March  20,  1823;  heutenant.  May  31, 
1823;  and  captain,  June  17,  1828,  from  which  last  position  he 
was  honorably  discharged  March  18,  1830.  He  was  one  of  the 
leading  citizens  of  the  town  and  for  nearly  fifty  years  was  almost 
continuously  in  public  office.  He  was  school  committeeman, 
1825,  1829,  1830;  collector,  1827,  1836;  selectman  and  assessor, 
1828-30,  1837-47,  1852-3,  1863,  1868-71,  and  1873,  and  overseer

320  LINCOLN   GENEALOGY 

Company,  and  in  later  life  president  of  the  Cohasset  Savings 
Bank.  He  was  a  man  of  good  judgment,  with  conservative 
ideas,  and  much  respected  by  his  fellow  citizens.  He  was 
intensely  patriotic  and  during  the  Civil  war  was  active  in  re- 
cruiting. Slow  of  speech  and  of  few  words  he  typified  in  the 
dignity  of  his  bearing  the  Puritan  of  the  preceding  century,  a 
type  now  seemingly  extinct.  In  spite  of  a  severe  disposition 
he  possessed  a  certain  sense  of  humor;  and  it  is  related  of  him 
that  at  a  meeting  of  the  selectmen  to  make  up  the  annual  ac- 
counts for  the  town  book,  he  suggested  that  James-Hall  Nichols, 
who  had  recently  married  Miss  Ruth  Snow  of  South  Main 
street,  must  have  a  bill  against  the  town  which  had  not  been 
presented,  namely,  for  removing  snow  from  South  Main  street. 

He  married  (1),  Nov.  11,  1827,  at  Scituate,  Mass.,  Ruth, 
daughter  of  Nehemiah  and  Hannah  (Lincoln)  Manson  of 
Scituate,  adffh  d,  born  Jan.  30,  1803,  at  Scituate;  died  March 
12,  1828,  at  Cohasset.  Her  father  is  erroneously  called  ''John'' 
in ''Cohasset  Genealogies,"  p.  502.

a  petition  for  the  town  to  accept  a  fire  engine  and  buckets,  who 
would  procure  and  pay  for  them.  In  1808,  he  was  a  private  in

he  removed  with  his  family  to  California.  He  is  said  to  have  kept  a

department  and,  July  17,  1852,  was  appointed  deputy-chief.  He  was 
promoted,  May  20,  1854,  to  the  captaincy  of  station  four.  While  on 
duty  at  Fort  Hill  he  received  an  injury  which,  ultimately,  caused  his 
death.  He  retired  from  the  department  and  in  September,  1860,  went 
into  the  provision  business.  He  married  (2),  Oct.  12,  1853,  Anna-Maria,

adaaa  a.  Mordecai,  son  of  Abraham  (John,  Mordecai, 
Mordecai,  Samuel)  and  Bathsheba  (Herring)  Lincoln  of  Augusta 
county,  Va.,  and  Jefferson  county,  Ky.,  born  1771,*  in  Virginia; 
died  December,  1830,  at  Fountain  Green,  Hancock  county, 
111.,  due  to  exposure  suffered  in  riding  several  miles  during  the 
first  day  of  the  "deep  snow,"  which  occurred  in  the  latter  part 
of  December,  1830.  He  was  buried  in  a  rude  coffin  hollowed 
out  from  a  large  log.  His  grave  is  in  section  29,  Fountain  Green 
township,  but  is  unmarked. 

All  authorities  agree  that  by  the  law  of  primogeniture,  then 
in  force  in  Kentucky,  Mordecai  inherited  all  of  his  father's  real 
estate,  and  this  is  confirmed  by  several  real  estate  transactions 
by  which  Mordecai  disposed  of  all  the  lands  known  to  have  be- 
longed to  his  father,  in  all  of  which  transactions  he  is  described 
as  "son  and  heir  at  law  of  Abraham  Lincoln."  One  of  these 
deeds,  on  record  at  Louisville,  Book  U,  p.  251,  is  as  follows: 

*Mr.  Lea  in  "The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,"  p.  84,  says  that  he  was  born  in  1764, 
but  his  authority  for  this  date  is  not  good.  President  Lincoln,  in  a  letter  to  Mordecai  Lincoln 
of  Greeneville,  Tenn.,  dated  Apr.  1,  1854,  says  that  his  uncle  Mordecai  was  fourteen  years  old 
when  he  shot  the  Indian  who  killed  his  father.  If  this  event  took  place  in  1785,  as  has  been 
supposed,  Mordecai  would  have  been  born  in  1771,  about  a  year  after  his  father's  marriage 
(the  date  of  which  was  unknown  to  Mr.  Lea),  and  would  have  been  21  years  old  when  married, 
which  seems  reasonable  and  natural.  In  the  tax  list  for  Washington  county  for  1792,  recently 
discovered,  he  is  listed  as  over  21  years,  showing  that  he  must  have  been  born  in  1771  or  earlier.

and  administrators  shall  warrant  and  forever  defend  the  said 
tract  or  parcel  of  land,  with  the  appurtenances  unto  the  said 
Bridges  and  to  his  heirs  and  assigns  forever  against  the  claim  or 
claims  of  all  and  every  person  or  persons  whatever  lawfully 
claiming  or  to  claim  the  same.  In  witness  whereof  the  said 
Lincoln  and  wife  have  hereto  set  their  hands  and  seals  on  the 
day  and  year  first  written. 

''signed     Mordecai  Lincoln  [seal] 
''Mary  Lincoln        [seal]" 

The  foregoing  deed  is  here  given  in  full,  because  it  not  only 
gives  valuable  evidence  concerning  Mordecai,  but  also  describes^ 
in  full  the  land  on  which  his  father  is  supposed  to  have  settled, 
and  to  have  met  his  death. 

By  a  second  deed,  dated  Dec.  24,  1803,  Mordecai  Lincoln, 
"heir  at  law  to  Abraham  Lincoln  deceased"  of  Washington 
county,  conveyed  to  Christopher  Riffe  a  "tract  of  land  lying 
and  being  in  the  county  of  Lincoln  on  Green  River  about  six 
miles  below  Green  River  Lick  and  containing  eight  hundred 
acres,"  the  consideration  being  "four  hundred  pounds  lawful 
money  of  the  State."  This  is  the  tract  granted  to  Abraham 
Lincoln  May  16,  1787,  under  treasury  warrants  Nos.  3333  and 
3335.    (Lincoln  County  Deeds,  Bk.  E,  p.  130.) 


SIXTH    GENERATION  327 

By  a  third  deed,  dated  June  8,  1808,  and  recorded  at  Spring- 
field, Ky.,  Deed  Book  C,  p.  462,  Mordecai  and  his  wife  Mary, 
being  described  as  of  Washington  county,  sold  for  five  shillings  all 
their  right  and  title  to  **one  certain  tract  or  parcel  of  land  con- 
taining by  survey  five  hundred  acres,  which  survey  was  made  and 
patented  in  the  name  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  now  deceased,  and 
Mordecai  Lincoln,  aforesaid,  is  his  legal  heir,  the  land  laying  in 
the  county  of  Pendleton,  tho  surveyed  and  patented  while  the 
county  of  Campbell,  and  situated  southwest  side  of  Licking 
[river]  and  bounded  by  east  branch  of  blanket  creek  and  by  said 
river."  From  the  price  it  is  evident  that  Mordecai's  title  to  this 
tract  was  not  good,  and  it  may  be  that  this  land  was  set  over  to 
Abraham's  widow  as  her  dower  and  that  the  foregoing  deed  was 
given  to  clear  the  title. 

On  Apr.  4,  1797,  three  months  after  the  sale  of  the  Jefferson 
county  land,  Mordecai  purchased  of  Terah  Templin,  for  one 
hundred  pounds,  three  hundred  acres  of  land  in  Washington 
county  "on  the  waters  of  Cartwright  Creek  and  the  beech  fork, 
being  part  of  an  entry  of  six  hundred  acres  patented  by  said 
Terah."  (Washington  County  Deeds,  Bk.  A,  p.  473.)  In  this 
deed  he  is  described  as  of  Washington  county.  This  land  he 
apparently  sold  Feb.  4,  1802,  to  Welford  Haven  for  two  hundred 
pounds,  he  and  his  wife  both  signing  the  deed  and  described  as 
of  Washington  county.  The  land  is  said  to  ''corner  to  Josiah 
Lincoln's  land."  (Ibid,  Bk.  B,  p.  515.)  He  must  have  purchased 
other  land  of  this  same  Templin  patent,  though  no  deed 
has  been  found  of  its  transfer  to  him,  since  he  and  his  wife  sold 
one  hundred  and  three  acres  of  it  to  John  Kelly,  Dec.  7,  1807. 
(Ibid.,  Bk.  C,  p.  311;  see  also  pp.  240  and  352.) 

The  writer  has  been  informed  by  Reverend  William  E.  Barton 
of  Oak  Park,  111.,  just  before  going  to  press,  that  Mordecai  was 
taxed  on  Oct.  16,  1792,  in  Washington  county  as  a  white  male 
above  21  years,  having  100  acres  of  land,  1  horse  and  2  cattle, 
but  that  in  1800,  according  to  the  tax  list  of  that  year,  his  land 
had  increased  to  300  acres  in  Washington  county,  1950  acres 
(950?)  in  Madison  county  on  the  Kentucky  river,  and  1154  acres 
in  Hardin  county  on  Green  river.  He  was  also  taxed  in  1800  on 
5  horses  but  no  slaves.  By  a  later  tax  list,  formerly  thought  to 
be  for  1811  but  now  claimed  to  be  for  1805,  he  was  assessed  on 


328  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

August  6  for  275  acres  of  land  and  2  horses  in  Washington  county; 
940  acres  of  land,  1  black  over  16  and  2  horses  in  Madison  county; 
and  1130  acres  of  land  and  1  horse  in  Hardin  county.  Most  of 
his  land  he  inherited  from  his  father;  but  he  may  have  had  some 
of  it  from  his  wife,  who  is  said  to  have  inherited  much  land  in 
Washington  and  Madison  counties. 

All  accounts  agree  in  describing  Mordecai  as  a  prosperous  and 
influential  citizen,  sheriff  of  his  county  and,  according  to  rumor, 
a  member  of  the  State  legislature,  but  this  last  has  not  been 
officially  confirmed.  He  is  spoken  of  as  a  man  of  some  genius,  of 
a  powerful  sense  of  humor  and  with  a  fund  of  amusing  stories, 
like  his  distinguished  nephew.  If  he  was,  as  described  by  General 
Linder,  ''as  tender  hearted  as  a  woman  and,  to  the  last  degree 
charitable  and  benevolent,"  it  is  difficult  to  believe  that  Lea 
is  justified  in  accusing  him  of  deserting  his  brother  Thomas, 
while  a  helpless  child,  and  leaving  him  'Ho  beg,  starve,  or  steal, 
as  he  might  elect."  Were  this  accusation  true,  it  is  hardly  likely 
that  the  President  would  have  had  "a  very  high  opinion  of  his 
uncle"  as  General  Linder  testifies  he  had,  since  it  is  not  likely 
that  Thomas  would  have  forgiven  such  treatment,  and  would 
probably  have  communicated  his  feelings  to  his  son.  See  "The 
Early  Life  of  Abraham  Lincoln,"  p.  29,  by  Ida  M.  Tarbell,  and 
"The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,"  pp.  82,  124,  by  Lea  and 
Hutchinson.  Herndon's  "Biography  of  Abraham  Lincoln,"  p.  10, 
says:  "The  tragic  death  of  his  father  filled  Mordecai  with  an  | 
intense  hatred  of  the  Indians — a  feeling  from  which  he  never 
recovered.  It  was  ever  with  him  like  an  avenging  spirit."  Sim- 
ilar statements  may  be  found  in  other  lives  of  Lincoln,  but  Mr. 
Herndon's  only  authority  seems  to  be  a  correspondent  from 
Grayson  county,  Ky.,  whither  Mordecai  removed  from  Washing- 
ton county  and  where  he  is  said  to  have  lived,  about  fifteen  miles 
from  Litchfield,  until  about  1829,  when  he  removed  to  Hancock 
county.  111.,  settling  at  Fountain  Green,  where  some  of  his 
descendants  are  still  living.  His  family  give  him  the  title  of 
"Major"  and  claim  that  he  was  with  Jackson  at  New  Orleans, 
but  this  has  not  been  confirmed. 

He  married,  in  1792  (by  WilHam  DeRohan),  Mary  Mudd, 
whose  birth  and  parentage  have  not  been  learned.  The  marriage 
is  recorded,  without  month  or  day,  at  Bardstown,  Ky.     After

her  husband's  death  she  Hved  with  her  son,   Mordecai,  near 

Fountain  Green,  where  she  died  about  1859.    She  is  said  to  have 

inherited  considerable  property  from  her  parents,  was  a  devout 

Roman  CathoHc  and  is  buried  in  the  old  Catholic  cemetery  near 

Fountain  Green.    (Information  furnished  by  Mrs.  Mary-Rowena

Va.,  and  of  Jefferson  county,  Ky.,  born  about  1774,  in  Virginia; 
died  September,  1835,  in  Harrison  county,  Ind.,  probably  at 
Blue  River.  Mr.  Lea  in  ''The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln," 
p.  84,  says  that  he  was  born  July  10,  1766;  but  his  authority  is 
not  good,  and  there  is  now  every  reason  to  believe  that  he  was 
born  eight  or  ten  years  later.  According  to  a  tax  list  for  Wash- 
ington county,  Ky.,  for  1792,  he  was  living,  on  October  16,  with 
his  mother,  Bathsheba,  and  between  16  and  21  years  of  age. 
This  proves  that  he  was  born  between  1771  and  1776.  On  May 
14,  1795,  he  was  taxed  under  his  own  name  and  called  aged  21 
or  more.  The  two  hsts  prove  him  to  have  been  born  in  1773  or 
1774. 

Little  is  known  of  his  life  in  Kentucky,  whither  he  removed 
with  his  father  at  an  early  age.  He  became  a  farmer  and,  with 
his  brother  Mordecai,  is  thus  described:  ''I  knew  Mordecai  and 
Josiah  Lincoln  intimately.  They  were  excellent  men,  plain, 
moderately  educated,  candid  in  their  manners  and  intercourse 


330  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

and  looked  upon  as  honorable  as  any  men  I  have  heard  of." 
(Letter  of  Henry  Pittle,  June  17,  1865;  see  ''Herndon's  Life  of 
Abraham  Lincoln/'  vol.  i,  p.  7.)  Mr.  Lea  cites  this  testimony 
of  Mr.  Pittle  and  in  the  face  of  it  accuses  Mordecai  and  Josiah 
of  ill  treating  their  brother  Thomas,  in  the  following  words: 
*' Taking  advantage  of  the  old  Enghsh  law  of  primogeniture 
then  in  force  in  Kentucky,  the  two  elder  brothers  ousted  their 
infant  half-brother" — as  Lea  supposed  him  to  be — ''from  all 
rights  of  inheritance  in  his  father's  estate  .  .  .  and  the  un- 
happy child  was  left  to  the  tender  mercies  of  strangers  in  a 
wilderness  swarming  with  savage  beasts  and  still  more  savage 
men."  (''The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln,"  pp.  83-4.)  What- 
ever truth  there  may  be  in  this  statement  as  regards  Mordecai, 
there  is  not  a  particle  of  evidence  in  the  land  records  of  Wash- 
ington, Jefferson,  Hardin  or  Nelson  counties  that  Josiah  ever 
inherited  any  of  his  father's  lands,  nor  in  any  other  records  that 
he  abandoned  or  mistreated  his  brother  Thomas.  Mr.  Lea  was 
drawing  entirely  on  his  imagination  and  has  done  a  great  injustice 
to  one  who  by  all  testimony  was  a  worthy  and  honorable  citizen. 
He  seems  to  have  owned  no  land  in  Washington  county  until 
Oct.  9,  1809,  when  he  purchased  of  Mathew  Walton  and  Frances 
his  wife,  all  being  described  as  of  Washington  county,  about 
"sixty  acres  on  the  waters  of  Beech  fork  of  Salt  river,"  and 
adjoining  his  brother  Mordecai's  field.  This  land  he  sold  Oct.  5, 
1811,  to  John  Kelly,  he  and  his  wife  Catharine  both  signing  with 
their  mark.  (Washington  County  Deeds,  vols.  C,  p.  441;  D,  p. 
35.)  Not  long  after  this  he  removed  with  his  family  to  Harrison 
county,  Ind.,  and  there  acquired  a  farm  of  160  acres  in  the 
township  of  Blue  River  by  patent  dated  May  8,  1815,  on  which 
he  lived  until  his  death.* 

The  court  records  of  Harrison  county  reveal  that  letters  of 
administration  on  his  estate  were  granted  by  the  clerk  in  vacation 
to  John  Crutchfield  and  John  Brisco,  and  were  confirmed  by  the 
court  the  third  day  of  November  term,  1835.  These  adminis- 
trators called  in  Peter  Byerly  and  George  Hup  to  appraise  the 
personal  effects,  who  were  duly  sworn  to  that  purpose  Sept.  19, 

♦The  records  of  the  General  Land  Office  in  Washington  show  that  the  northwest  M.  160

At  November  term  of  court,  third  day,  1835,  in  the  case  of 
"John  Crutchfield  and  Babby  his  wife  and  others,  heirs  at  law 
of  Josiah  Lincoln,  deceased,  on  Partition  of  Real  Estate,  vs.

that  Isam  Denton  be  appointed  her  guardian  at  litem,  the  said

.  .  .  and  commissioners  were  appointed  "to  divide  the  landed

August  term,  1836,  second  day,  the  commissioners  to  divide 
the  landed  property  of  Josiah  Lincoln,  deceased,  report:  "the 
landed  property  consisted  a  part  of  the  north  west  quarter  of 
section  twelve  on  township  two  south  of  the  base  line  and  on 
range  two  east  of  the  second  principal  meridian  ...  lot

to."   (Probate  Order  Book  C.) 

Mr.  Lincoln  married,  Feb.  26,  1801,  in  Washington  county, 
Ky.,  Catharine,  daughter  of  Christopher  and  Barbara  Barlow 
of  said  county.  The  dates  of  her  birth  and  death  have  not  been 
learned.  The  marriage  certificate  is  recorded  at  Springfield,  Ky., 
and  reads  as  follows:  "I  hereby  certify  that  a  marriage  was 
solemnized  by  me  between  Josiah  Lincoln  and  Catharine  Barlow 
on  the  26th  inst.  according  to  the  rites  and  ceremonies  of  the 
Christian  Church.  Given  under  my  hand  February  27th  1801. 
Thomas  Kyle.'' 

The  will  of  Christopher  Barlow  of  Washington  county,  dated 
June  5,  1837,  probated  June  26,  1837,  names:  "wife  Barbary" 
and  provides  that  'Hhe  remaining  part  (if  any)"  of  his  estate 
''be  equally  divided  among  my  children  hereinafter  mentioned," 
and  names  his  ''heirs  viz.  Rosannah  Keeling,  Katharine  Lincon, 
Elizabeth  Spencer  and  Jacob  M.  Barlow,  Jerusha  Adams  also." 
He  provides  also  for  the  freedom  of  some  of  his  slaves  and  for  the 
sale  of  others.    (Washington  County  Will  Books,  vol.  F,  p.  460.) 

Mrs.  Lincoln  evidently  died  before  her  husband,  since  she  is 
not  provided  for  in  the  settlement  of  his  estate,  or,  at  any  rate, 
before  the  property  was  divided  in  August,  1836,  yet  her  father 
seems  not  to  have  known  of  it  in  the  following  June.

county,  Va.,  and  of  Jefferson  county,  Ky.,  born  Jan.  6,  1778, 
in  that  part  of  Augusta  county  which  is  now  Rockingham  county; 
died  Jan.  17,  1851,  on  his  farm  at  Goose  Nest  prairie,  not  far 
from  Farmington,  Coles  county.  111.,  and  is  buried  in  Shiloh 
cemetery,  three  and  a  half  miles  from  the  homestead.  His 
monument,  erected  many  years  after,  bears  the  following 
inscription : 

''Thomas  Lincoln  |  Father  of  t  The  Martyred  President  t 
Born  I  Jan.  6,  1778  t  Died  t  Jan.  15,*  1851." 

Thomas  Lincoln  is  generally  described  in  all  the  published 
biographies  of  his  son  as  a  shiftless  rover  who  failed  in  all  his 
undertakings,  an  unsuccessful  farmer  who  brought  up  his  children 
in  poverty  and  neglect,  and  who  was,  on  the  whole,  a  rather 
unworthy  parent  of  so  great  a  son.  This  reputation  is  largely  due 
to  the  description  of  his  person  and  character  in  Herndon's 
"Life  of  Lincoln,"  pp.  11  and  12,  which  is  here  quoted  in  full, 
because,  though  partly  unjust  in  the  light  of  later  discoveries, 
it  is  evidently  based  on  information  given  by  personal  acquain- 
tances, perhaps  in  part  by  the  President  himself. 

"He  was  we  are  told,"  says  Herndon,  "five  feet  ten  inches

rounded  face,  dark  hazel  eyes,  coarse  black  hair,  and  was  slightly 
stoop-shouldered.  His  build  was  so  compact  that  Dennis  Hanks 
used  to  say  he  could  not  find  the  point  of  separation  between 
his  ribs.  He  was  proverbially  slow  of  movement,  mentally  and 
physically;  was  careless,  inert  and  dull;  was  sinewy  and  gifted 
with  great  strength;  was  inoffensively  quiet  and  peaceable,  but 
when  roused  to  resistance  a  dangerous  antagonist.  He  had  a 
liking  for  jokes  and  stories,  which  was  one  of  the  few  traits  he 
transmitted  to  his  illustrious  son;  was  fond  of  the  chase,  and 
had  no  marked  aversion  for  the  bottle,  though  in  the  latter  case 
he  indulged  no  more  freely  than  the  average  Kentuckian  of  his 
day.  At  the  time  of  his  marriage  to  Nancy  Hanks  he  could 
neither  read  nor  write;  but  his  wife,  who  was  gifted  with  more 
education,  and  was  otherwise  his  mental  superior,  taught  him, 
it  is  said,  to  write  his  name  and  to  read — at  least,  he  was  able  in 
later  years  to  spell  his  way  slowly  through  the  Bible.  In  his 
religious  belief  he  first  afiiliated  with  the  Free-Will  Baptists. 
After  his  removal  to  Indiana  he  changed  his  adherence  to  the 
Presbyterians — or  Predestinarians,  as  they  were  then  called — 
and  later  united  with  the  Christian — vulgarly  called  Campbellite 
— Church,  in  which  latter  faith  he  is  supposed  to  have  died. 
He  was  a  carpenter  by  trade,  and  essayed  farming  too;  but  in 
this,  as  in  almost  every  other  undertaking,  he  was  singularly 
unsuccessful.  He  was  placed  in  possession  of  several  tracts  of 
land  at  different  times  in  his  life,  but  was  never  able  to  pay  for 
a  single  one  of  them.  The  farm  on  which  he  died  was  one  his 
son  purchased,  providing  a  life  estate  therein  for  him  and  his 
wife.  He  never  fell  in  with  the  routine  of  labor;  was  what  some 
people  would  call  unfortunate  or  unlucky  in  all  his  business 
ventures — if  in  reality  he  ever  made  one — ." 

In  partial  contradiction  to  these  statements  is  the  testimony 
of  Christopher-Columbus  Graham  of  Louisville,  who  states 
that  ''Tom  Lincoln  was  a  carpenter,  and  a  good  one  for  those 
days,  when  a  cabin  was  built  mainly  with  the  axe,  and  not  a 
nail  or  bolt  or  hinge  in  it,  only  leathers  and  pins  to  the  door,  .  .  . 
Tom  had  the  best  set  of  tools  in  what  was  then  and  is  now 
Washington  county."  In  further  contradiction  is  the  fact  that, 
in  spite  of  having  been  thrown  on  his  own  resources  by  his  father's 
death  when  a  young  boy,  on  Sept.  2,  1803,  when  he  was  but 


SIXTH    GENERATION  335 

twenty-five  years  old,  he  purchased  for  £118  of  John-Tom 
Slater,  238  acres,  ''part  of  1600  acre  survey  patented  to  William 
May  .  .  .  with  all  its  appurtenances,  barns,  stables,  ways, 
houses,  waters  and  conveniences."  In  this  deed  he  is  described 
as  of  Hardin  county,  and  the  land  was  about  eight  miles  north 
of  Elizabethtown  in  Hardin  county.  (Hardin  County  Deeds, 
vol.  B,  p.  253.)  This  land  he  and  his  wife  Nancy,  still  of  Hardin 
county,  sold  for  £100,  Oct.  27, 1814,  to  Charles  Milton  or  Melton, 
''being  the  same  land  conveyed  by  John-Tom  Slater  to  said 
Lincoln,  Sept.  2,  1803,  on  Mill  creek."  (Ibid.,  Vol.  E,  p.  193.) 
To  this  last  deed  Thomas  Lincoln  signed  his  name  but  his  wife, 
Nanc3%  made  her  mark,  and  while  this  does  not  prove  that  the 
latter  was  unable  to  write  her  name,  it  does  show  that  she  was 
not  so  superior  in  education  to  her  husband  as  has  been  claimed, 
and  had,  probably,  not  taught  him  to  read  and  write. 

That  Thomas  was  of  a  roving  disposition  cannot  be  denied 
and  that,  like  other  rolling  stones,  he  gathered  no  moss  is  not 
strange,  but  he  inherited  his  desire  for  change  from  a  long  line  of 
ancestors,  not  one  of  whom  passed  his  life  where  he  was  born, 
and  most  of  whom  were  pioneers  with  a  pioneer's  longing  for 
new  fields  to  conquer.  Samuel  Lincoln,  born  in  England,  removed 
to  Hingham,  Mass.;  his  son  Mordecai,  born  in  Hingham,  re- 
moved to  Scituate;  Mordecai,  his  son,  born  in  Scituate,  removed 
to  New  Jersey  and  thence  to  Pennsylvania;  John,  his  son,  born 
in  New  Jersey,  removed  to  Pennsylvania  and  thence  to  Virginia ; 
and  iVbraham,  his  son,  and  father  of  Thomas,  born  in  Penn- 
sylvania, removed  to  Virginia  and  thence  to  Kentucky.  Nor  is 
it  probable  that  any  one  of  these,  settlers  all  of  them  in  a  partly, 
and  some  of  them  in  a  wholly,  unbroken  wilderness,  was  able 
to  bring  up  his  wife  and  children  in  much  greater  comfort  than 
wg-s  Thomas,  whose  poverty,  though  characteristic  of  the  lands 
and  times  in  which  he  lived  and  which  was,  probably,  httle 
worse  than  that  of  his  neighbors,  has  been  held  up  as  a  shame 
and  disgrace  by  most  of  the  President's  biographers.  Yet  one 
need  not  go  as  far  as  Mr.  Lea,  who  in  his  chapter  on  "Thomas 
Lincoln — The  Man"  in  "The  Ancestry  of  Abraham  Lincoln," 
pp.  123-134,  in  his  desire  to  disprove  the  characterization  of 
earlier  biographers  makes  him  out  a  better  man  than  the  facts 
seem  to  warrant.    The  reader,  however,  is  referred  to  that  chap- 


336  LINCOLN   GENEALOGY 

ter  for  a  more  intimate  account  of  Thomas's  life  than  can  be 
given  here. 

Further  testimony  that  he  was  not  the  altogether  worthless 
character  of  the  biographers  is  furnished  by  his  appointment  as 
road  surveyor  in  1816,  shortly  before  his  removal  to  Indiana. 
It  was  a  very  minor  office,  but  he  must  have  had  some  credit  in 
the  community  to  have  received  even  that.  His  appointment  is 
on  record  at  Elizabethtown  and  reads  as  follows:  *' Monday  18th 
May  1816.  Ordered  that  Thomas  Lincoln  be  and  he  is  hereby 
appointed  surveyor  of  that  part  of  the  road  leading  from  Nolen 
to  Bardstown  which  lies  between  the  Bigg  hill  and  the  rolling 
fork  in  place  of  George  Redman  and  that  all  the  hands  that 
assisted  said  Redman  do  assist  said  Lincoln  in  keeping  said  road 
in  repair." 

Of  the  early  life  of  Thomas  Lincoln,  after  his  father's  death, 
nothing  authentic  has  been  learned.  He  is  said  to  have  been 
abandoned  by  his  brothers  and  left  to  shift  for  himself;  but  as 
his  mother  and  sisters  were  living,  and  he  was,  at  most,  but  ten 
years  old  when  his  father  was  killed,  and  his  brothers  were  not 
then  of  age  and  were  but  a  few  years  older  than  he,  there  is 
probably  no  truth  in  the  report.  In  1795  he  was  taxed  in  Wash- 
ington county  under  his  own  name,  as  a  white  male  between 
16  and  21  years,  and  in  1800  he  was  taxed  in  the  same  county 
as  above  21  years  and  owning  a  horse,  being  listed  on  July  14. 
As  his  brothers  Mordecai  and  Josiah  were  listed  in  that  year  on 
September  11  and  May  14  respectively,  it  would  seem  that  the 
three  were  not  then  living  together.  In  the  tax  list  for  1806, 
which  was  formerly  thought  to  be  for  1811,  Thomas  was  taxed 
on  two  horses  and  was  evidently  living  in  Washington  county 
and  farming  in  a  small  way.  All  accounts  agree  that  he  learned 
the  trade  of  carpenter  in  the  shop  of  Joseph  Hanks  at  Elizabeth- 
town,  which  is  in  Hardin  county,  and  that  he  practised  his  trade 
there  until  after  the  birth  of  his  daughter  Sarah  in  1807.  He 
then,  it  is  claimed,  removed  to  the  farm  near  Hodgenville,  in 
what  is  now  Larue  county,  and  not,  for  some  unexplained  reason, 
to  the  farm  which  he  had  purchased  of  John-Tom  Slater  in  1803, 
which  was  still  in  his  possession  and  which,  one  would  think, 
he  would  naturally  have  occupied,  especially  as  it  is  said  to  have 
been  a  much  better  farm  than  the  one  near  Hodgenville.     It  is 


SIXTH   GENERATION  337 

^  evident  that  if  he  ever  lived  on  the  Slater  farm  it  must  have  been 
for  a  very  short  while.  During  this  period  of  Thomas  Lincoln's 
life,  and  probably  until  his  removal  to  Indiana  in  1816,  he  was  a 
carpenter  as  well  as  a  farmer,  and  it  is  not  unreasonable  to  suppose 
that  he  changed  his  dwelHng  place  to  suit  the  exigencies  of  his 
trade.  It  is  now  known  that  before  his  removal  to  the  Hodgen- 
ville  farm  he  was  engaged  in  the  building  of  Denton  Geoghegan's 
mill  which  resulted  in  two  lawsuits,  in  one  of  which  he  was  the 
plaintiff  and  in  the  other  the  defendant,  both  of  which  were 
decided  in  his  favor.  After  his  removal  to  the  Hodgenville  farm 
he  is  said  to  have  been  employed  by  George  Brownfield,  and  it  is 
now  generally  agreed  that  he  lived  there  until  after  the  birth  of 
his  son  Abraham  in  1809. 

His  next  remove  was  to  a  farm  on  Knob  creek  in  Hardin  coun- 
ty, about  fifteen  miles  from  the  Hodgenville  farm,  and  across 
Muldraugh's  hill,  called  the  ''Bigg  hill"  in  his  appointment  as 
road  surveyor,  whither  he  is  said  to  have  removed  in  1813.  This 
farm,  which  was  part  of  a  tract  of  ten  thousand  acres,  he  occupied 
on  lease;  and  a  suit  of  ejectment  was  brought  against  him  and 
other  occupants  of  the  tract,  Jan.  1,  1815,  which  was  not  brought 
to  trial  until  June  9,  1818,  when  judgment  was  rendered  for  the 
defendants.  Meanwhile  Mr.  Lincoln,  not  waiting  for  a  settle- 
ment of  the  dispute,  had  left  the  State.  Lamon,  whose  story 
seems  to  have  been  accepted  by  the  later  biographers  of  Abraham 
Lincoln  without  proper  investigation,  evidently  confused  this 
Knob  creek  farm  with  the  farm  purchased  of  John-Tom  Slater 
in  1803,  and  also  with  the  farm  near  Hodgenville.  He  describes 
it  as  containing  238  acres  and  situated  six  miles  from  Hodgenville, 
and  he  further  says:  ''This"  [second]  "farm  he"  [Thomas]  "had 
pretended  to  buy  from  a  Mr.  Slater.  The  deed  mentions  £118 
.  .  .  the  deed  was  made  to  him  Sept.  2,  1813  [sic]  and  Oct.  27, 
1814  he  conveyed  200  acres  of  it  to  Charles  Milton  for  £100." 
(Life  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  Lamon,  p.  13;  see  also  "Paternity  of 
Abraham  Lincoln,"  by  Wm.  E.  Barton,  pp.  251-263.) 

In  1816,  after  having  made  a  preliminary  journey  to  select  a 
place  for  settlement,  he  removed  his  family  to  a  farm  about  a 
mile  and  a  half  east  of  Gentryville  in  Spencer  county,  Ind. 
This  farm,  which  was  situated  in  the  midst  of  a  dense  forest, 
required  clearing  and  proved  to  be  not  only  unfertile  but  rather 
22 


338  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

unhealthful,  yet  here  Thomas  remained,  in  spite  of  his  ^'roving 
disposition,"  until  March,  1830,  when  he  removed  to  Macon 
county.  111.,  with  his  family  and  a  party  of  relatives,  and  settled 
about  ten  miles  west  of  Decatur.  Here  he  remained,  however, 
but  a  short  time,  being  driven  away  by  the  prevalence  of  fever 
and  ague,  and,  in  1831,  he  was  living  on  a  forty-acre  farm  on 
Goose  Nest  prairie,  in  Coles  county,  near  the  village  of  Farming- 
ton,  where  he  continued  to  live  until  his  death.  His  son  Abraham 
had,  however,  left  him  in  1830  to  seek  his  own  fortunes. 

He  married  (1),  June  12,  1806  (Washington  County  Records), 
on  Beech  Fork,  Washington  county,  Ky.,  Nancy,  daughter, 
it  is  claimed,  of  Joseph  and  Nancy  (Shipley)  Hanks  of  Amelia 
county,  Va.,  and  Elizabethtown,  Ky.,  born  Feb.  5,  1784,  in 
Amelia  county.  She  died  Oct.  5,  1818,  at  Gentryville,  Ind. 
Few  women  honestly  married  have  been  so  maligned  as  she, 
and  strangely  enough  all  the  calumnious  stories  of  her  origin 
and  marriage  have  been  due  to  the  credulity  of  one  man,  whose 
opportunities  for  learning  the  truth  from  the  lips  of  the  living 
were  unequalled,  but  who  seems  to  have  put  undue  faith  in  the 
statements  of  Dennis  Hanks,  who  appears  to  have  gone  out  of  his 
way  to  calumniate  and  belittle  both  Nancy  and  her  husband. 
Mr.  William  H.  Herndon  in  the  preface  to  his  "Life  of  Abraham 
Lincoln"  says:  "My  long  personal  association  with  Mr.  Lincoln 
gave  me  special  facilities  in  the  direction  of  obtaining  materials 
for  these  volumes.  Such  were  our  relations  during  all  that 
portion  of  his  life  when  he  was  rising  to  distinction,  that  I  had 
only  to  exercise  a  moderate  vigilance  in  order  to  gather  and! 
preserve  the  real  data  of  his  personal  career."  Yet  Herndon 
and  Lamon,  who  used  Herndon's  collections  in  writing  his  "Life 
of  Lincoln,"  both  believed  until  1882,  when  the  marriage  record 
of  Thomas  and  Nancy  was  discovered  in  Washington  county,  that 
both  Abraham  and  his  mother  were  illegitimate;  and  Herndon 
goes  so  far  as  to  say  that  Abraham  himself  told  him  in  1850, 
"the  only  time  when  Mr.  Lincoln  ever  referred  to  his  ancestry," 
that  his  mother  "was  the  illegitimate  daughter  of  Lucy  Hanks 
and  a  well  bred  Virginia  farmer."  Elsewhere  Mr.  Herndon 
tells  us  that  "Mr.  Lincoln  usually  had  but  little  to  say  of  himself, 
the  lives  of  his  parents,  or  the  history  of  his  family  before  their 
removal  to  Indiana.    If  he  mentioned  the  subject  at  all,  it  was 


SIXTH   GENERATION  339 

with  great  reluctance  and  significant  reserve.  There  was  some- 
thing about  his  origin  he  never  cared  to  dwell  upon." 

In  1900  Mrs.  Caroline  Hanks  Hitchcock  published  "Nancy 
Hanks,  The  Story  of  Abraham  Lincoln's  Mother,"  in  which  she 
attempts  to  prove  that  Nancy  was  the  eighth  and  youngest 
child  of  Joseph  and  Nancy  (Shipley)  Hanks;  that  they  removed 
from  Virginia  to  Kentucky  about  1789  and  settled  near  Eliza- 
bethtown;  that  her  father  died  in  1793  leaving  a  will,  dated  Jan.  9, 
1793,  in  which  he  names  his  wife  and  all  his  children  and  leaves 
to  ''my  daughter  Nancy  one  heifer  yearling  called  Peidy"; 
that  after  her  mother's  death  Nancy  went  to  live  with  her  moth- 
er's sister,  Mrs.  Richard  Berry,  who  was  Lucy  Shipley  before  her 
marriage;  and  that  this  Richard  Berry,  calling  himself  ''garden," 
with  Thomas  Lincoln,  signed  the  marriage  bond  of  Thomas  and 
Nancy  Hanks  two  days  before  the  marriage,  which  marriage  is 
recorded  in  the  records  of  Washington  county  at  Springfield, 
certified  to  by  Jesse  Head,  D.  M.  E.  Ch.  (Deacon  Methodist 
Episcopal  Church).  The  bond,  which  is  printed  in  facsimile  in 
Miss  Tarbell's  "Life  of  Lincoln,"  vol.  i,  p.  10,  reads  as  follows: 
"Know  all  men  by  these  presents  that  we  Thomas  Lincoln  and 
Richard  Berry  are  held  and  firmly  bound  unto  his  Excellency 
the  governor  of  Kentucky  for  the  Just  and  full  sum  of  fifty  pounds 
Current  money  to  the  payment  of  which  well  and  truly  to  be 
made  to  the  said  governor  and  his  successors  we  bind  ourselves 
our  heirs  &c.  Jointly  and  severally  firmly  by  these  presents. 
Sealed  with  our  seals  and  dated  this  10*^  day  of  June  1806.  The 
Condition  of  the  above  obligation  is  such  that  whereas  there  is  a 
marriage  shortly  intended  between  the  above  bound  Thomas 
Lincoln  and  Nancy  Hanks  for  which  a  license  has  issued  now  if 
there  be  no  lawful  cause  to  obstruct  the  said  marriage  then  this 
obligation  to  be  Void  or  else  to  remain  in  full  force  &  virtue  in  law

Since  the  pubHcation  of  Mrs.  Hitchcock's  book  its  statements 
have  generally  been  accepted  as  true.  If  they  are,  it  is  incon- 
ceivable that  Abraham,  who  was  in  his  tenth  year  when  his 
mother  died  and  had  lived  nearly  all  that  time  near  his  mother's 
relatives,  should  have  believed  that  either  he  or  his  mother  was 


340  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

illegitimate,  or  should  have  been  told  by  his  father,  or  even  by- 
Dennis  Hanks,  that  his  mother  was  the  daughter,  legitimate  or 
illegitimate,  of  Lucy  Hanks,  of  whose  existence  no  evidence  has 
thus  far  been  produced.  Yet  it  is  to  be  regretted  that  Mrs. 
Hitchcock  has  not  presented  more  conclusive  evidence  to  prove 
that  Joseph  Hanks's  daughter,  named  in  his  will,  was  born,  as 
stated,  on  February  5,  1784,  and  was  the  Nancy  who  married 
Thomas  Lincoln  in  1806.  Unfortunately  Mrs.  Hitchcock's 
statements  concerning  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Richard  Berry  are  con- 
tradicted by  the  fact,  recently  communicated  to  the  writer,  that 
Richard  Berry,  Sr.,  died  in  1798,  his  will  being  recorded  in  Will 
Book  A,  p.  134,  in  which  his  wife  is  called  Rachel.  Nor  was  the 
wife  of  the  younger  Richard,  who  was  probably  the  signer  of  the 
marriage  bond,  named  Lucy  but  Cally  or  Sally,  his  marriage  to 
Cally  Ewing  being  recorded.  There  was  therefore  no  ''kind 
Uncle  Richard  and  Aunt  Lucy,"  as  they  are  called  by  Mrs. 
Hitchcock,  for  Nancy  to  have  lived  with  ''until  she  was  married," 
and  this  rather  casts  a  doubt  upon  all  of  Mrs.  Hitchcock's  con- 
clusions. It  is  hoped  that  further  investigations  may  prove 
them  correct. 

It  is  to  be  noted  that  Thomas  signed  the  bond  with  his  name 
and  not  with  a  mark,  showing  that  if  Nancy  taught  him  to  write 
it  was  before  they  were  married.  Mrs.  Hitchcock  attempts  to 
prove  that  Nancy's  father,  Joseph  Hanks,  was  descended  from 
Benjamin  Hanks  of  Pembroke,  Mass.;  but  this  she  has  not  made 
clear,  and  many  believe  that  his  ancestor  was  John  Hanks  of 
Gwynedd,  Penn.,  who  died  in  1731.  (See  "The  Ancestry  of 
Abraham  Lincoln,"  pp.  112-120.)  Mrs.  Nancy  Lincoln  is  de- 
scribed as  "above  the  ordinary  height  in  stature,  weighed  about 
130  pounds,  was  slenderly  built,  and  had  much  the  appearance  of 
one  inclined  to  consumption.  Her  skin  was  dark;  hair  dark 
brown;  eyes  gray  and  small;  forehead  prominent;  face  sharp 
and  angular,  with  a  marked  expression  of  melancholy  which 
fixed  itself  in  the  memory  of  everyone  who  ever  saw  or  knew  her. 
.  .  .  She  was  in  disposition  amiable  and  generally  cheerful. 
Mr.  Lincoln  himself  said  ...  of  his  mother  .  .  .  she  was 
highly  intellectual  by  nature,  had  a  strong  memory,  acute  judg- 
ment, and  was  cool  and  heroic."  See  Herndon's  "Life  of  Lin- 
coln," p.  13.    It  is  worth  while  to  remember  that  Abraham  was 


SIXTH   GENERATION  341 

but  nine  years  old  when  his  mother  died  and  that  his  opinion  of 
her  was  given  in  1851,  thirty-three  years  after  her  death.  Mrs. 
Hitchcock  says  the  traditions  of  Nancy  Hanks's  appearance 
at  the  time  of  her  marriage  ''agree  in  caUing  her  a  beautiful 
girl.  She  is  said  to  have  been  of  medium  height,  weighing  about 
one  hundred  and  thirty  pounds,  with  light  hair,  beautiful  eyes, 
a  sweet  sensitive  mouth,  and  a  kindly  and  gentle  manner." 
She  is  generally  spoken  of  as  superior  to  her  husband,  by  both 
nature  and  education,  and  as  having  led  an  unhappy  married 
life  by  reason  of  the  hardships  she  was  compelled  to  undergo. 
But  it  should  be  remembered  that  she  was  the  daughter,  as 
well  as  the  wife  and  mother,  of  a  pioneer,  and  had  been  used, 
from  earhest  childhood,  to  the  hardships  of  a  pioneer's  hfe.  She 
may  have  been  unhappy  with  her  husband;  many  wives  in  far 
better  circumstances  and  surroundings  have  been  so;  yet,  if  her 
character  was  as  described  above,  it  is  reasonable  to  suppose 
that  she  made  the  best  of  her  uncomfortable  lot  and  was  not 
altogether  wretched. 

Thomas  Lincoln  married  (2),  Dec.  2,  1819,  at  Elizabethtown, 
Ky.  (Hardin  County  Records),  Mrs.  Sarah  (Bush)  Johnston, 
daughter  of  Christopher  Bush  of  Hardin  county  and  widow  of 
Daniel  Johnston  of  Elizabethtown,  whom  she  married  March  13, 
1806,  and  who  had  died  in  October,  1818.  She  was  born  Dec.  13, 
1788,  in  Kentucky  and  died  Dec.  10,  1869,  at  the  old  homestead 

:  in  Coles  county,  111.  She  is  said  to  have  brought  much  household 
furniture  with  her,  which  increased  the  comforts  of  the  family, 
and  is  described  as  ''a  woman  of  energy,  thrift  and  gentleness" 
and  is  thought  to  have  had  a  great  influence  in  moulding  the 
character  of  her  stepson.  By  her  first  husband  she  had  three 
children:  John,  Sarah  and  Matilda,  but  she  had  none  by  Mr. 

!  Lincoln.

342  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

The  dates  of  birth  of  the  children  of  Thomas  and  Nancy 
(Hanks)  Lincoln  are  from  a  facsimile  of  a  page  in  Thomas  Lin- 
coln's family  Bible,  but  the  entries  were  all  made  by  Abraham 
Lincoln.  The  page  is  partially  destroyed,  so  that  all  the  dates 
are  not  clear.  Sarah  has  generally  been  miscalled  Nancy,  because 
the  first  line  of  the  record  of  her  birth  has  been  torn  off.  It  is 
evident  that  it  originally  read: 

'*  Sarah  daughter  of  Thos  & 

Nancy  Lincoln  was  born  Feb.  10th  1807," 
Just  as  the  entry  of  Abraham's  birth  reads: 

''Abraham  Lincoln,  Son  of  Thos  & 

Nancy  Lincoln  was  born  Feb. 

12th  1809." 
Sarah's  death  reads:  ''Sarah  daughter  of  Tho®  Lincoln,  wife  of 
Aaron  Grigsby  died    .     .    .uary  20,  1828,"  and  it  is  uncertain 
whether  she  died  in  January  or  February.       Lamon  misread  it 
May.

adaaa  da.  Sakah,  born  Feb.  10,  1807;  died  January  or  February  20,  1828, 
at  Gentry ville,  Ind.,  in  childbed.  She  married,  Augu&t,  1826,  at  Gentry- 
ville,  Aaron  Grigsby  of  Spencer  county,  Ind.,  born  1801,  died  1831. 
They  lived  at  Gentryville  and  had  no  children.  They  are  both  buried 
in  "Old  Pigeon  Cemetery,"  Gentryville,  and  Aaron's  birth  and  death 
are  taken  from  his  gravestone.  Herndon's  "Life  of  Abraham  Lincoln" 
says  of  Sarah,  "she  was  thick-set,  had  dark  brown  hair,  deep  gray  eyes, 
and  an  even  disposition.  In  contact  with  others  she  was  kind  and  con- 
siderate, her  nature  was  one  of  amiability,  and  God  had  endowed  her 
with  that  invincible  combination — modesty  and  good  sense."

county,  Va.,  now  W.  Va.,  and  there  married  his  first  wife,  who 
died  not  long  after  the  birth  of  their  second  child.  Leaving  the 
infant  with  his  father,  Mr.  Lincoln,  taking  his  little  girl  on  the 
saddle  with  him,  rode  to  Carter  county,  Tenn.,  to  visit  his  uncle 
Isaac  in  1814  or  1815.  He  was  so  pleased  with  the  beauty  of  the 
country  that  he  purchased  "Fish  Spring  Farm"  on  Stony  creek, 
sent  to  Virginia  for  his  goods  and  settled  down  as  farmer  and 
store-keeper.  After  some  years  he  removed  to  Greeneville, 
where  he  purchased  an  interest  in  the  leading  store,  but  retained 
his  mountain  farm  as  his  summer  home.  He  was  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  Episcopal  church  in  Greeneville  and  was  well 
known  from  the  valley  of  Watauga  to  Charleston,  S.  C,  whither 
he  went  on  frequent  business  trips,  always  travelling  on  horse- 
back. ''His  gracious  hospitality  and  loving  disposition  endeared 
him  to  all."  He  is  buried  in  the  old  cemetery  at  Greeneville, 
beside  his  second  wife.

daughter  of  William  and  Catherine  (See)  Paul  of  Hardy  county, 
Va.  (now  W.  Va.),  born  about  1794;  died  December,  1815,  aged 
about  21  years.  She  was  a  wealthy  heiress,  her  father  having 
left  her  several  plantations  and  numerous  slaves,  which  fortune 
is  thought  to  have  come  from  her  grandmother  See. 

He  married  (2),  at  Knoxville,  Tenn.,  Sophia- Williams,  daugh-

to  the  heirs  of  my  son  John  C.  Lincoln  five  dollars  to  be  divided 
between  them.  My  reason  for  not  giving  them  more  is  because 
they  have  already  had  at  least  four  thousand  dollars  each  in 
:  slaves  and  the  proceeds  of  the  sale  of  a  large  tract  of  land  in 
Hardy  County  in  the  State  of  Virginia.

non,  Ohio,  born  June  7,  1807,  in  Rockingham  county,  Va.;  died 
at  Le  Claire,  Iowa,  soon  after  the  Civil  war.  He  removed  to 
Iowa  and  was  living,  Oct.  6,  1860,  at  Le  Claire,  Scott  county, 
according  to  a  letter  of  that  date  written  to  his  nephew,  Dr. 
Isaac-Lincoln  Drake,  of  Lebanon.  He  was  a  farmer  and,  like 
his  brother  Isaac,  a  very  earnest  and  pious  Baptist.  But  little 
has  been  learned  of  him,  as  he  seems  to  have  got  out  of  touch 
with  his  relatives  after  his  removal  from  Ohio.  In  a  letter  to 
his  brother  Mordecai  at  Greeneville,  Tenn.,  dated  ''Near  Red 
Lion,  Warren  Co.,  Ohio,  Oct.  3,  1838,"  he  says:  ''I  was  married 
the  13th  of  last  February  to  Miss  Sarah  Hart  who  lived  five  or 
six  miles  distant";  and  Nov.  8,  1839,  he  wrote  from  the  same 
place:  ''I  have  a  young  daughter  that  will  be  ten  months  old 
the  3d  of  next  month,  we  call  her  Margarete  H.  Lincoln  .  .  . 
Brother  Isaac  and  his  family  were  well  when  I  left  home,  Nancy" 
his  sister  ''was  down  this  Fall  and  Billy"  her  husband  "was 
down  since  .  .  .  Mr.  Drake  seems  to  be  failing  and  Rachel" 
another  sister  "does  by  no  means  promise  for  long  life." 

His  father  left  to  him  by  his  will  the  old  family  Bible,  which 
undoubtedly  contained  much  information  of  the  family;  but 
it  has  not  as  yet  been  found.  He  left  two  daughters  and  no  son; 
and  of  these  daughters,  one  of  whom  probably  had  the  Bible, 
liothing  has  been  learned.  Mr.  J.  D.  Barnes  of  Le  Claire  says 
that  he  attended  district  school  kept  by  John  Lincoln  in  1851. 

He  married,  Feb.  13,  1838,  in  Warren  county,  Ohio,  Sarah

until  December,  1822,  when  he  removed  to  Clay  county,  Mo., 
settling  on  a  farm  a  few  miles  from  Liberty,  which  town  he  was 
instrumental  in  organizing.  Here  he  passed  the  rest  of  his  life 
except  for  a  short  time  when  he  lived  at  St.  Joseph,  Mo.  He 
built  one  of  the  first  grist  mills  in  Clay  county  and  added  milling 
to  his  other  occupations.  He  was  an  industrious,  prudent  and 
generally  successful  man.  He  and  his  wife  are  described  as 
*' people  of  great  force  of  character,  liberal  in  their  views,  chari- 
table and  intensely  religious."  In  1847,  his  health  failing,  he 
went  to  the  Rocky  Mountains  to  recuperate;  but,  returning,  he 
could  get  no  further  than  Council  Bluffs,  where  he  died. 

He  married,  about  1819,  near  Lexington,  Juliann,  daughter 
of  Peter*  and  Fanny  (Wharton)  Gatewood  of  Fayette  county, 
Ky.,  born  Feb.  16,  1802,  in  Fayette  county;  died  Sept.  5,  1892, 
at  Plattsburg,  Mo.  She  inherited  a  large  estate  in  Kentucky 
from  her  father,  which  she  sold  Feb.  26,  1859,  reserving  the 
family  burying  ground.  (Fayette  County  Deeds,  vol.  35,  p.  80.) 
She  left  at  her  death  one  hundred  lineal  descendants,  viz. :  eight 
children,  forty-six  grandchildren  and  forty-six  great-grand- 
children. (Records  of  Mrs.  Julia  [Lincoln]  McMichael,  adaah  eo;

Mr.  Bradley,  after  "investigating  the  gold  fields  of  California  as  a  forty-

removed  for  a  short  time  to  Plattsburg,  Mo.,  and,  in  1864,  went  with  his 
family  to  Nebraska  City,  where  he  continued  in  mercantile  business  for 
about  twenty  years  and  then,  until  he  retired,  was  interested  in  grain, 
real  estate  and  insurance.  He  was  regarded  as  a  typical  example  of  a 
southern  gentleman.  Mrs.  Bradley  was  of  a  noble  and  charitable  charac-

born  May,  1800,  near  Lexington,  Ky.;  died  May  5,  1862,  near 
Liberty,  Clay  county,  Mo.  He  was  a  farmer  and  lived  about 
one  mile  from  Liberty,  whither  he  had  removed  before  his  chil- 
dren were  born.  He  was  living  in  Missouri,  June  23,  1821,  on 
which  date  he,  being  described  as  of  Missouri,  conveyed  to 
Elisha  Warfield  his  "one  eighth  part  of  that  tract  of  land  con- 
veyed to  him  and  others  by  his  father,  containing  about  295 J 
acres  in  Fayette  county  on  the  waters  of  South  Elkhorn,"  but 
as  this  deed  was  acknowledged  by  him  in  Fayette  county  on 
the  same  date  he  was  evidently  at  home  on  a  visit.  (Fayette^ 
County  Deeds,  Bk.  U,  p.  407.)  On  Nov.  10,  1828,  he  was  ap- 
pointed administrator  on  the  estate  of  Lewis  Gatewood,  de- 
ceased, of  Fayette  county,  who  was  probably  the  father  of  David's 
wife.  (Fayette  County  Order  Books,  vol.  7,  p.  134.)  For  the 
settlement  of  this  estate  he  returned  to  Kentucky  with  his  wife; 
and  his  son  Isaac- Wells  was  born  there  in  1829;  but  they  went' 
back  to  Missouri  soon  after  and  remained  there  until  their 
deaths. 

He  married,  Dec.  10,  1822,  at  Lexington,  America-Sanders, 
daughter,  probably,  of  Lewis  Gatewood  of  Fayette  county, 
born  May,  1800,  in  Fayette  county;  died  Aug.  20,  1865,  near 
Liberty.  She  is  called  Maria  in  the  marriage  record  at  Lexington.

the  trade  of  blacksmithing.  A  part  of  this  farm  he  sold,  Dec.  24, 
1814,  and  the  remainder  he,  with  his  wife  Mary,  conveyed  Apr. 
27,  1820,  to  John  F.  Foster.  (Fayette  County  Deeds,  Book  F,

michaels,  where  he  continued  to  live  until  his  death.

He  lived  on  the  ''Old  Bailey"  farm,  on  the  side  of  the  mountain 
in  North  Union. 

He  married  Martha  Cole,  of  whom  nothing  can  now  be  learned 
except  that  she  died  before  her  husband,  of  a  cancer.  Some  of 
the  family  say  that  Mr.  Lincoln  died  in  the  late  forties.  The 
family  Bible,  if  any  ever  existed,  cannot  now  be  found,  and  no 
dates  have  been  preserved.  Abraham  seems  to  have  been  the 
black  sheep  of  the  family,  and  none  of  the  information  here  given 
of  his  children  has  been  confirmed.  It  was  all  obtained  by 
personal  interviews,  and  much  of  it  cannot  be  considered  reliable. 
Mrs.  Sophia  Barnes  was  the  only  one  of  Abraham's  children  who

Jasper  and  EKzabeth  (Oves)*  Gilpin  of  Oakland,  Md.,  born 
July  2,  1805,  at  Oakland;  died  Aug.  3,  1873,  at  Dawson,  Pa.,

Mr.  Lincoln  died  intestate.  At  the  time  of  his  death  he  was 
preparing  to  sell  his  farm  and  remove  to  Illinois.  In  addition  to 
farming  he  worked  at  cabinet-making,  and  he  left  his  family  in 
moderate  circumstances.  The  farm  in  Dunbar,  on  which  he 
lived,  was  sold  to  him  by  his  mother,  Elizabeth  Lincoln,  Jan. 
12,  1830,  a  few  months  before  he  was  married.  The  con- 
sideration was  $400.  Elizabeth  had  purchased  the  farm  March  1, 
1823.  (Fayette  County  Deeds,  Book  R,  p.  345;  Information 
of  Mrs.  Elizabeth  [Lincoln]  Haldeman,  adaga  ge.) 

The  will  of  Jane  Lincoln  of  Dawson  Borough,  Fayette  county, 
was  dated  July  26,  1873,  and  proved  Aug.  9,  1873.  By  it  she 
provides  as  follows:  "after  all  debts  are  paid  Abigail  must  have 
$150,  after  which  Rhoda  Watson  my  daughter  must  have  $1. 
and  Edward  Lincoln  $1.  and  Mordica  Lincoln  $1.  and  Benjamin 
Lincoln  $1.  and  Thomas  Lincoln  $1.  The  balance  of  my  estate 
to  be  equally  divided  among  my  three  girls,  viz.  Abigail,  EHza 
and  Matilda."  Administration  was  granted  to  Abigail  Lincoln. 
(Fayette  County  Wills,  vol.  iv,  pp.  457-8.) 

A  petition  of  Jehu  B.  Watson  in  right  of  his  wife  Rhoda  Wat- 
son, daughter  of  Mordecai  Lincoln,  deceased,  dated  in  March, 
1870,.  gives  further  information  of  this  family.  The  petition 
recites  that  Mordecai  Lincoln  died  on  the  —  day  of  October  1852 
[sic]  intestate,  leaving  a  widow,  Jane  Lincoln,  and  the  following 
children:  Rhoda  married  to  the  petitioner,  Mordecai  Lincoln,

the  two  brothers  continued  to  hold  in  common  until  John^s 
death  in  1846.  Patterson  then  presented  a  petition  in  Orphans' 
Court  for  procedure  to  enable  him  to  sell  the  land.    This  petition 


SIXTH   GENERATION  367 

already  quoted  under  the  notice  of  his  father,  John,  adagh,  gives 
considerable  information  of  Patterson's  brothers  and  sisters. 
On  June  16,  1853,  Patterson  Lincoln  and  Margaret  his  wife  gave 
a  deed  of  the  whole  lot,  in  which  they  recite  the  foregoing  facts; 
but  the  transaction  was  not  completed  until  March  20,  1857. 
Soon  after  selling  his  lands  in  Fayette  county  he  is  said  to  have 
removed  West  and  to  have  lived,  finally,  in  Nebraska,  where  he 
died  at  an  advanced  age. 

He  married,  about  1845,  in  Fayette  county,  Margaret  Hedden 
of  Upper  Middletown,  Pa.,  of  whom  nothing  further  has  been 
learned.  The  following  list  of  their  children  is  given  on  the 
authority  of  the  late  James-Minor  Lincoln  of  Wareham,  Mass. 
No  one  has  as  yet  been  found  who  can  give  further  information 
of  this  family.  (Fayette  County  Deeds,  Book  R,  p.  249;  Book  6,

county,  Ohio,  aged  63  years. 

He  married  in  Greene  county,  Ohio,  Mary-Jane  Hemmick 
and  was  living  in  Greene  county  in  1848. 

The  only  information  that  has  been  obtained  of  this  family 
was  collected  by  the  late  James-Minor  Lincoln  of  Wareham, 
Mass.,  a  descendant  from  Thomas  Lincoln,  the  miller,  who 
devoted  many  years  to  the  compilation  of  a  genealogy  of  his 
ancestor's  family.  He  believed  until  a  few  years  before  his 
death  that  the  President  was  of  his  family  and  therefore  had 
done  some  work  on  the  Pennsylvania  Lincolns,  the  results  of 
which  he  kindly  turned  over  to  the  writer.  Lafferty's  children, 
like  those  of  his  brother  Patterson,  have  been  entirely  lost  to 
their  Pennsylvania  cousins.

by  which  Jacob  Lincoln  of  Darby,  stone-mason,  and  Eliza  his

in  Paschallville,  formerly  belonging  to  Dr.  Henry  Paschall  and

"To  wife  Eliza  and  son  William  all  money  in  hand  or  due  me  at

which  he  resides  containing  21  acres,  and  my  lot  in  Darby,

From  the  foregoing  it  is  learned  that  his  wife's  name  was  ; 
Eliza  and  that  she  survived  him.    It  is  also  evident  that  if  they  ] 
had  other  children,  none  but  WilHam  was  Hving  in  1848.    Mrs. 
Lincoln  married  (2),  before  Sept.  24,  1856,  Anthony  J.  Jordan, 
as  appears  by  the  petition  for  administration  on  the  estate  of 
her  son  William.

calls  her  widow  and  administratrix  of  William  Lincoln  and  sets  forth: 
"that  said  William  Lincoln  died  intestate,  leaving  no  issue  and  as  next  of

year."  His  gravestone  says  he  was  born  in  1793,  but  this  must 
be  an  error  of  the  stone-cutter.  He  was  a  farmer  and  lived  at 
Darby  where  he  was  supervisor  of  roads  during  nearly  all  of  his 
active  adult  life.

at  Darby.  They  are  both  buried  in  the  old  Darby  cemetery 
called  ''Mt.  Zion,"  their  gravestones  being  inscribed  as  follows:

business  there  until  1857  when  he  went  to  Liverpool,  England,  where  he 

remained  until  1874  when  he  returned  to  Bath.    He  was  mayor  of  Bath 

1878-9  and  presidential  elector  in  1883.     "Richardson  Memorial"  is  in 

error  in  saying  that  he  was  postmaster  of  Bath  in  1873,  as  he  never  held 

that  office  in  any  place.     He  was  a  great-nephew  of  Governor  King,

N.  C,  and  is  buried  in  Central  burying  ground,  Cohasset.  ^'Co- 
hasset Genealogies"  says  he  died  at  sea;  but  this  probably  means

he  died  at  Wilmington  and,  moreover,  his  body  was  brought  to 
Cohasset  for  burial.  He  was  a  master-mariner  or  sea  captain. 
He  lived  at  Cohasset,  in  the  Cushing  Kilby  house  on  South  Main

Boston  Record  Commissioners,  give  his  birth  as  Sept.  2,  1810, 
which  may  have  been  the  date  of  his  baptism.  ''Cohasset 
Genealogies"  also  gives  incorrect  dates  of  birth  for  all  the 
children  of  Caleb  and  Nancy  (Bicknell)  Lincoln.  As  given  here 
they  are  from  the  family  Bible.  Mr.  Lincoln  lived  at  the  time 
of  his  marriage  at  East  Cambridge,  Mass.,  but  soon  removed  to 
Providence,  where  he  passed  the  remainder  of  his  life.  He 
engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  soap,  at  first  with  S.  R.  Jackson 
under  the  firm  name  of  S.  R.  Jackson  &  Co.,  and  later  with  his 
brother  Samuel,  when  the  firm  name  became  T.  &  S.  Lincoln. 

He  married,  Dec.  3,  1835,  at  Watertown,  Mass.,  Lucy-Cool- 
idge^,  daughter  of  Asa*^  {John^,  John^,  Ebenezer^,  Simon^,  Simov})

(Clapp)  Lincoln  of  Hingham,  Mass.,  born  June  8,  1825,  at 
Hingham;  died  Sept.  6,  1874,  at  Boston,  Mass.  He  lived  at 
Boston  and  in  the  record  of  his  marriage,  in  1850,  he  is  called  a 
** furniture  dealer,"  but  in  1857,  and  in  the  record  of  his  second 
marriage  and  of  his  death,  he  is  called  ''  coachman." 

He  married  (1),  according  to  Massachusetts  Vital  Records, 
Apr.  13,  1850,  at  Charlestown,  Mass.,  Mary,  daughter  of  Pati'ick 
and  Rosanna  McKenly  of  Charlestown.  She  is  called  twenty 
years  old,  which  would  make  her  born  in  1830.  But  the  State 
vital  records  have  also  the  following  record  which  conflicts  with 
this,  viz.:  ''Rufus  W.,  son  of  Rufus  W.  Lincoln,  a  coachman  of 
Boston  aged  31  years,  born  at  Hingham,  and  Mary,  daughter  of 
Patrick  McKenly  of  Boston,  aged  29  years  born  at  Boston,  were 
married  Jan.  31,  1857,  at  Boston;  it  being  his  first,  her  second 
marriage."  This  entry  has  two  possible  explanations,  neither 
of  which,  however,  may  be  true;  first:  that  the  name  ''Mary" 
is  an  error  in  one  case  or  the  other  and  that  Mr.  Lincoln  married 
two  sisters,  in  which  case  there  is  another  error  in  calling  the 
second  marriage  his  first ;  second :  that  Mary  had  been  secretly 
married,  previous  to  1850,  and  was  committing  bigamy  in  her 
first  marriage  to  Mr.  Lincoln  and,  her  first  husband  dying,  she 
was  legally  married  to  Mr.  Lincoln  in  1857.  No  record  has  been 
found  of  her  death,  nor  of  the  birth  of  any  child. 

He  married  (2),  July  23,  1867,  at  Boston,  Eugenia  L.,  daughter 
of  Isaiah  and  Lucretia  Barbour  of  Camden,  Me.,  born  1842,  at

Worcester,  Mass.,  born  Nov.  22,  1811,  at  Worcester;  died  Nov. 
8,  1889,  at  Worcester.  He  graduated  at  Bowdoin  college  in 
1830;  studied  law  at  Worcester  with  Newton  &  Lincoln,  both  of 
the  partners  being  his  uncles.  He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in 
September,  1833,  and  settled  as  a  lawyer  in  Millbury,  Mass., 
and  afterwards  at  Alton,  111.,  where  he  was  city  attorney.  He 
returned  to  Worcester  before  1847,  and  became  a  farmer  at 
Quinsigamond  village,  owning  the  farm  formerly  belonging  to  his 
uncle  John- Waldo  Lincoln,  and  afterwards  known  as  the  ''Bal- 
lard farm."  After  a  few  years  he  sold  the  farm,  gave  up  farming 
and  went  into  the  city  to  live,  but  a  few  years  later  he  bought 
another  farm  in  the  vicinity  of  Tatnuck  village  and  there  re- 
sided until  his  death.  In  1858  he  was  ''city  marshall"  of  Wor- 
cester, as  the  chief  of  police  was  then  called.  In  1859  he  was 
elected  president  of  the  Worcester  County  Agricultural  Society, 
which  office  he  held  for  many  years.  He  was  particularly  in- 
terested in  raising  pure-blooded  Jersey  cattle  and  eventually  had 
a  fine  herd. 

He  was  commissioned,  June  3,  1862,  lieutenant  colonel  of  the 
34th  regiment,  Massachusetts  volunteer  mihtia,  then  recruiting 
for  the  war,  was  promoted  colonel,  Oct.  14,  1864,  and  for  meri- 
torious services  in  the  Shenandoah  valley  was  confirmed  briga- 
dier general  June  23,  1865.  He  was  wounded  in  the  right 
shoulder  at  the  battle  of  Newmarket,  May,  1864,  and  was  taken 
prisoner.  While  on  his  way  to  Anderson ville  he  made  his  escape, 
and  in  his  "History  of  the  Thirty-Fourth  Regiment"  he  tells  the 
story  of  his  thrilling  adventures  while  on  his  way  to  the  Union 
lines.  His  right  arm  was  permanently  disabled,  and  he  never 
entirely  recovered  from  the  effects  of  the  wound  and  exposure. 

He  married,  Oct.  22,  1835,  at  Worcester,  Elizabeth',  daughter 
of  George-Augustus^  {Joseph^,  Joseph"^,  John^,  Joseph^,  John})

sixth  Massachusetts  regiment,  which  responded  to  the  call  for  three- 
months  volunteers  in  April,  1861;  but  as  he  did  not  leave  Worcester 
with  the  company,  but  with  the  third  battalion  of  rifles  which  left  some 
days  later,  it  is  uncertain  if  he  joined  the  regiment  in  time  to  accompany 
it  on  its  historical  march  through  Baltimore  on  Apr.  19.  He  was  promoted 
to  be  sergeant.  He  returned  home  much  broken  in  health,  and  his

July  1,  1880,  at  New  London,  Conn.,  being  killed  by  being 
thrown  accidentally  from  the  observation  train  at  the  Harvard- 
Yale  boat  race,  and  run  over  by  the  cars.  He  received  his 
education  at  Leicester  academy  and  Harvard  college  where 
he  received  the  degree  of  A.B.  in  1831.  After  graduation  he 
studied  law  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  of  Worcester  county 
in  1834.  For  a  short  time  thereafter  he  was  associated  with 
his  uncle,  William  Lincoln,  aacbc  j,  on  the  staff  of  the  ''  Worcester 
Aegis,"  and  then  purchased  a  small  farm  of  about  twenty  acres 
on  the  west  side  of  Worcester,  and  there  devoted  himself  for 
nearly  thirty  years  to  fruit  and  flower  culture.  His  farm,  though 
a  barren  piece  of  land  when  he  purchased  it,  became  under  his 
exquisite  taste  a  beautiful  estate.  It  comprised  the  land  now 
bounded  by  Pleasant,  Piedmont,  Austin  and  Bellevue  streets 
and  has  long  been  entirely  built  over.  Mr.  Lincoln  was  especially 
interested  in  the  culture  of  the  pear,  and  at  one  of  the  annual 
exhibitions  of  the  Worcester  Horticultural  Society  he  exhibited 
one  hundred  and  sixty  named  varieties  of  that  fruit. 

In  politics  he  was,  during  his  early  years,  a  Whig  but  on  the 
breaking  up  of  that  party  he  became  a  Democrat  and  so  re- 
mained during  the  remainder  of  his  life,  though  in  his  latter 
years  he  was  inactive  in  political  affairs.  He  was  a  member 
of  the  State  legislature  in  1846  as  representative;  alderman  of 
I  the  city  of  Worcester  in  1858  and  1859;  and  mayor  in  1863

and  1864,  being  defeated  for  a  third  term  by  a  narrow  margin, 
owing  to  the  bitterness  engendered  against  all  Democrats, 
no  matter  how  patriotic,  by  the  events  of  the  Civil  war.  In 
1865  he  was  chosen  trustee  of  the  Worcester  Public  Library, 
and  at  the  time  of  his  death  was  chairman  of  the  sinking  fund 
commissioners  of  Worcester.  He  was  a  director  of  the  Citizens,

He  took  an  active  interest  in  the  local  militia  and  for  years  was 
an  active  member  of  the  Worcester  Light  Infantry,  of  which 
company  he  was  elected  ensign,  March  15,  1837;  lieutenant, 
July  4,  1837;  and  captain,  Apr.  28,  1838,  serving  with  great

where  the  family  had  been  passing  the  winter,  as  had  been  their 
custom  for  several  years.  Mrs.  Lincoln  was  a  very  lovely  woman, 
of  slight,  frail  figure.  Her  portrait  by  George  Fuller  is,  though 
somewhat  idealized,  an  excellent  likeness  of  her.  There  are 
several  portraits  of  Mr.  Lincoln,  none  of  which  are  entirely 
satisfactory.  (Family  Records.)

Worcester,  Mass.,  born  Oct.  19,  1816,  at  Worcester;  died  Feb. 
23,  1847,  at  the  battle  of  Buena  Vista,  Mexico.  He  was  educated 
at  Leicester  academy,  but  got  into  some  boyish  scrape  there 
and  was  sent  to  sea  with  Captain  James- Warren  Sever,  his 
mother's  cousin.  He  sailed  to  China  and  returned  under  the 
mate,  having  a  very  hard  time.  He  made  a  second  voyage 
and  had  a  similar  experience.  He  returned  with  the  vessel  to 
Holland,  where  he  left  it,  made  his  way  to  Paris  and  thence 
returned  home.  He  had  had  enough  of  the  sea  and  was  appointed 
by  President  Jackson,  through  his  father's  influence,  to  a 
lieutenancy  in  the  United  States  army,  and  was  immediately

sent  to  Florida,  where  he  arrived  a  few  days  after  the  Fort  jjki 
Dade  massacre.  In  the  Mexican  war  he  distinguished  himself 
at  the  battle  of  Resaca  de  la  Palma,  by  rescuing  Lieutenant 
Jordan  from  a  number  of  Mexicans,  killing  two  of  the  enemy 
unaided,  and  three  others  with  the  assistance  of  his  sergeant. 
For  this  gallantry  he  was  promoted,  June  18,  1846,  to  be  assistant 
adjutant  general,  with  the  brevet  rank  of  captain.  His  friends 
in  Worcester  presented  him  with  a  very  handsome  dress  sword, 
as  a  testimonial  of  their  admiration  of  his  bravery,  which  sword 
he  never  received,  being  killed  before  it  reached  him.  It  is 
now  owned  by  his  nephew,  Waldo  Lincoln,  as  is  also  the  dress 
sword  which  he  used  in  service.  At  the  battle  of  Buena  Vista, 
Captain  Lincoln,  who  was  a  member  of  the  3rd  U.  S.  infantry, 
was  attached  to  the  staff  of  General  Wool.  During  the  action 
he  was  mounted  on  a  magnificent  white  horse,  and  by  his  dis- 
tinguished appearance  drew  more  than  his  share  of  the  enemy's 
fire,  being  mistaken,  it  is  thought,  for  General  Taylor,  and,  while 
leading  a  charge,  was  shot  through  the  heart.  His  remains 
were  taken  to  Worcester,  being  escorted  thither  by  a  detach- 
ment of  Kentucky  volunteers,  with  whose  officers  he  had  been 
on  intimate  terms,  and  were  honored  by  a  military  funeral 
which  was  long  remembered  by  the  inhabitants  of  Worcester. 
Political  feeling  ran  very  high  in  Worcester  during  the  Mexican 
war  and  it  is  said  that,  during  Captain  Lincoln's  funeral,  a 
Mr.  Leander  Eaton,  who  kept  a  store  on  Main  street  through 
which  the  procession  passed,  hung  out  a  sign  reading,  ^'No 
homage  to  murderers."  There  is  no  portrait  of  Captain  Lin- 
coln in  existence,  but  his  brother,  Edward- Winslow,  described! 
him  to  the  writer  as  being  six  feet  two  inches  tall,  with  very 
large  blue  eyes  and  very  handsome.  A  colored  print  of  the 
scene  of  his  death  was  published  and  is  here  reproduced. 

He  married.  May  24,  1839,  at  Ogdensburg,  N.  Y.,  Nancy, 
daughter  of  Silvius  and  Nancy-Mary  (Devillers)  Hoard  of 
Ogdensburg,  born  Oct.  26,  1820,  at  Antwerp,  N.  Y.;  died  Sept. 
4,  1852,  at  Worcester.  She  married  (2),  June  25,  1850,  at 
Worcester,  Hon.  Stephen  Salisbury  of  Worcester  as  his  second 
wife.  She  had  no  children  by  him.  Her  grandfather  was  Louis 
de  Villers,  a  native  of  France,  who  came  out  in  Rochambeau's 
expedition  to  aid  this  country  in  the  war  of  the  Revolution.

424  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

Boston,  Mass.,  born  September,  1818,  at  Boston;  died  July  17, 
1870,  at  Boston  in  the  lunatic  hospital.  He  lived  at  Boston,  his 
name  first  appearing  in  the  Boston  directories  in  1849,  when  he 
is  described  as  ''ostler";  from  1852  to  1859  he  is  called  ''laborer"; 
and  from  1860  to  his  death  he  was  janitor  of  the  Franklin  school, 
living  on  Newlands  street. 

He  married,  Apr.  2,  1849,  at  Boston,  by  Rev.  Otis  A.  Skinner, 
Mary-Ann  Call,  born  August,  1812,  at  York,  Me.,  though  her 
marriage  record  says  she  was  born  at  Wiscasset,  Me.;  died  July  9, 
1896,  at  Boston,  in  the  Old  Ladies  Home.  She  was  aged  eighty- 
three  years,  eleven  months  when  she  died,  and  Mr.  Lincoln's 
age  at  death  is  given  as  fifty-one  years,  ten  months.  (Boston 
Records;  Mass.  Vital  Records.)

Boston.  He  succeeded  his  father  as  janitor  of  the  Franklin  school.  He 
lived  at  Boston  and  is  called  Louis  T.  in  the  Boston  directories  and  also  in 
the  Quincy,  Mass.,  records,  so  perhaps  he  changed  his  name  to  Louis- 
Trevett. 

He  married,  June  8,  1882,  at  Quincy,  Nancy-Elizabeth,  daughter  of 
James  and  Margaret  D.  (Taylor)  Burke  of  Quincy,  born  Apr.  12,  1861,  at 
Quincy;  died  Oct.  23, 1885,  at  Quincy,  aged  twenty-four  years,  six  months,

Call,  the  mother  of  Louis-Russell  Lincoln,  was  born  at  York,  Me.;  her 
mother  was  born  at  Boston.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Lincoln  had  no  children.

1873,  at  Boston,  aged  fifty-two  years.  He  died  in  the  poor- 
house  at  Rainsford  island.  In  1854  he  is  described  as  ''baker, 
living  at  Boston."  His  daughter  thinks  that  he  had  other 
children  by  his  second  wife,  and  that  he  perhaps  married  a  third 
wife;  but  she  knows  little  of  him  after  his  separation  from  her 
mother.

^'Cohasset  Genealogies"  says  Jan.  7,  1805,  probably  the  date  of

"  Cohasset  Genealogies  "  is  in  error  in  stating  that  he  was  wrecked 
on  the  fishing  schooner  "Maine"  in  1846  in  Massachusetts  Bay, 
when  his  son  Ezekiel  was  lost,  having  confused  him  with  his  son, 
Francis-Mayhew,  Jr.

son  of  Daniel  Webster.  In  his  college  days  he  published  a 
"Student  Account  Book,"  showing  in  those  days  a  bent  of  mind 
of  which  he  availed  himself  in  his  business  life.  He  entered  the

Gray,  Me.,  where  he  remained  for  fourteen  years  until  1859  or 
1860,  when  he  accepted  the  pastorate  of  a  mission  church  in

Washington  or  Grayson  county,  Ky.;  died  November,  1837, 
at  Fountain  Green,  111.  He  received  no  school  education  but, 
nevertheless,  is  said  to  have  been  better  educated  in  the  common 
branches  of  learning  than  most  men  of  his  time  with  whom  he 
was  associated.  He  was  a  carpenter  by  trade  and  lived  in 
Grayson  county,  Ky.,  until  October,  1829,  when  he  removed  to 
Sangamon  county.  111.,  and  thence  in  1831  to  Fountain  Green,

Ky.;  died  Apr.  15,  1865,  at  Washington,  D.  C,  while  President 
of  the  United  States,  the  victim  of  an  assassin's  bullet.  Little 
has  been  learned  of  his  early  life  and  education.  His  first  teacher 
is  said  to  have  been  Zachariah  Riney,  whose  school  he  attended 
for  two  or  three  months  at  the  age  of  seven,  and  his  second  was 
Caleb  Hazel,  with  whom  he  studied  for  about  three  months.  If 
it  is  true  that  ''the  boy  actually  learned  to  write  an  intelligent 
letter  at  this  time,"  as  claimed  by  his  biographers,  he  must  have 
been  very  precocious.  After  the  removal  of  the  family  to  In- 
diana he  went  to  school  successively  to  Hazel  Dorsey,  Andrew 
Crawford  and  a  Mr.  Swazey,  the  last  named  keeping  a  school 
about  1826,  four  and  a  half  miles  from  Lincoln's  home.  After 
this  Lincoln  was  entirely  self  taught.  In  1816  his  father  removed 
with  all  his  family  to  Indiana  and  settled  in  Spencer  county, 
near  Gentryville,  and  in  1825  Abraham  was  employed  by  James 
Taylor  for  nine  months,  at  six  dollars  per  month,  his  principal 
employment  being  the  management  of  a  ferry  boat  across  the 
Ohio  at  Anderson's  creek.  The  next  year  he  was  employed  by 
Mr.  Gentry  at  Gentryville,  and  was  sent  by  him  to  New  Orleans 
in  charge  of  a  flat-boat  laden  with  produce.  For  this  service  he 
received  eight  dollars  per  month.  In  1830  the  family  removed 
to  Macon  county.  111.,  and  settled  on  the  Sangamon  river,  about 
ten  miles  from  Decatur,  where  they  arrived  on  March  1.  Here 
he  first  assisted  his  father  to  build  a  cabin  and  then,  being  twenty- 
one  years  of  age,  went  to  work  on  his  own  account,  acquiring  at 
this  time  the  title  of  ''rail-splitter"  by  which  he  was  familiarly 
called  in  his  political  campaigns.  His  father  removed  in  the 
spring  of  1831  to  Coles  county.  111.,  and  Abraham  never  returned 
to  live  under  the  paternal  roof. 

In  1831  he  made  a  second  flat-boat  trip  to  New  Orleans,  with 
his  cousin  John  Hanks  and  his  step-brother  John  Johnson,  with 
a  cargo  of  hogs.  They  were  employed  by  Denton  Offutt  of  New 
Salem,  111.  They  built  the  boat  on  Spring  creek  and  rafted  it  to 
the  Sangamon  and  thence  to  the  Mississippi.  On  neither  of 
these  flat-boat  trips  is  there  any  evidence  of  an  adventure  in 
behalf  of  kidnapped  negroes,  such  as  has  recently  been  depicted 
in  moving  pictures.  On  returning  from  this  trip  Lincoln  became 
a  clerk  in  Mr.  Offutt's  store  at  New  Salem  and  first  acquired  the 
sobriquet  "Honest  Abe,"  by   his   scrupulously   fair  treatment 

30

of  all  customers.  That  fall  he  served  as  clerk  of  elections,  his 
first  public  office. 

In  April,  1832,  he  enlisted  in  a  militia  company  from  Sanga- 
mon, 111.,  for  the  Black  Hawk  war,  and  was  chosen  its  captain 
on  April  21,  but  the  volunteers  proved  unsatisfactory  and  were 
mustered  out  on  May  27.  Lincoln  immediately  re-enlisted  as  a 
private  in  Capt.  Elijah  Iles's  Company  of  independent  rangers 
for  twenty  days,  the  mustering  officer  being  Major  Robert 
Anderson  who,  thirty  years  later,  defended  and  surrendered 
Fort  Sumter.  On  the  expiration  of  this  service  Lincoln  was 
again  mustered  in,  on  June  20,  as  a  member  of  an  independent 
company  under  Capt.  Jacob  M.  Early  which  was  disbanded  on 
July  10,  three  weeks  before  the  massacre  of  Bad  Axe  ended  the 
war.    During  his  whole  service  Lincoln  saw  no  actual  fighting. 

In  the  fall  of  this  year  he  ran  for  the  legislature  on  the  Whig 
ticket  but  was  defeated.  He  then  went  into  partnership  with 
William  F.  Berry  in  keeping  a  general  store.  Berry  turned  out  to 
be  a  worthless  drunkard,  and,  as  Lincoln  had  little  business 
capacity,  the  enterprise  failed  within  a  year,  and  it  was  not 
until  1849  that  he  discharged  all  the  resulting  obligations.  On 
May  7,  1833,  he  was  appointed  postmaster  of  New  Salem  by 
President  Jackson  and  held  that  office  until  1836,  when  it  was 
abolished.  He  is  said  to  have  kept  the  office  in  his  hat,  the 
revenue  not  being  sufficient  to  pay  for  larger  quarters.  After  his 
failure  in  business  he  became  deputy  land  surveyor  to  John  Cal- 
houn, who  was  the  official  surveyor  of  Sangamon  county,  which 
position  he  retained  until  his  removal  to  Springfield,  111.,  at  the 
same  time  he  commenced  the  reading  of  law,  having  been  during 
all  his  life  a  constant  student  and  voracious  reader  of  all  the 
books  and  newspapers  he  could  lay  his  hands  on. 

In  1834  he  was  elected  to  the  legislature  and  was  re-elected  in 
1836,  1838  and  1840,  after  which  he  declined  to  be  again  a  can- 
didate, though  he  was  again  elected  in  1854  but  resigned  before 
taking  his  seat.  In  the  campaign  of  1836  he  established  his 
reputation  as  a  public  speaker  and  at  the  following  session  he 
first  met  Stephen  A.  Douglas  in  debate.  It  was  at  this  session 
he  subscribed  a  protest  against  pro-slavery  resolution  and  com- 
menced his  anti-slavery  record. 

He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  the  autumn  of  1836  and  removed 


SEVENTH   GENEKATION  467 

to  Springfield  the  following  spring,  where,  on  Apr.  27,  1837,  he 
became  the  law  partner  of  Major  John  T.  Stuart.  This  partner- 
ship continued  until  Apr.  14,  1841,  Stuart  having  been  elected  to 
Congress,  and  Mr.  Lincoln  formed  a  business  association  with 
Judge  Stephen  T.  Logan  of  Springfield  which  was  dissolved  Sept. 
20,  1843;  and  on  the  same  day  he  became  senior  partner  in  a 
new  firm  with  William  H.  Herndon,  which  was  never  formally 
dissolved  except  by  Mr.  Lincoln's  death. 

In  1840  Mr.  Lincoln  became  involved  in  a  quarrel  with  James 
Shields,  who  held  Lincoln  responsible  for  certain  articles  which 
had  appeared  in  the.  Sangamon  ''Journal,"  which  offended  Mr. 
Shields.  The  writer  of  the  articles  was  really  a  young  woman,  a 
friend  of  Lincoln's  and  by  many  thought  to  have  been  Miss 
Mary  Todd,  to  whom  Lincoln  was  then,  or  soon  after,  affianced 
and  who  afterwards  became  his  wife.  Mr.  Shields  challenged 
him  to  fight  a  duel  and  Lincoln  selected  broadswords  as  the 
weapons,  and  took  preparatory  instruction  in  that  arm.  The 
duel  was  prevented  by  the  action  of  mutual  friends,  at  the  scene 
of  the  proposed  fight  on  Bloody  island. 

In  1844  he  was  a  candidate  for  presidential  elector  for  Henry 
Clay.  In  1846  he  was  elected  representative  to  Congress  by  a 
majority  of  1511,  the  only  Whig  member  from  Illinois.  In  1848 
he  was  a  member  of  the  national  Whig  convention.  In  this 
year,  after  the  adjournment  of  Congress  on  Aug.  14,  he  went  to 
New  England  and  made  various  campaign  speeches.  In  the 
course  of  this  journey  he  stopped  at  Worcester,  Mass.,  and  was 
entertained  at  dinner  by  ex-Governor  Levi  Lincoln,  aacbc  a,  a 
distant  cousin,  though  the  family  connection  was  unknown  to 
them  both.  In  1852  he  was  again  on  the  Whig  electoral  ticket, 
this  time  for  General  Scott,  and  was  defeated  for  the  third  time. 

In  October,  1854,  he  made  a  powerful  speech  against  Mr. 
Douglas  at  Springfield  on  the  Kansas-Nebraska  bill,  and  did  this 
again  at  Peoria.  This  was  instrumental  in  bringing  about  the 
election  of  a  Whig  legislature ;  and  Lincoln  and  Lyman  Trumbull 
were  candidates  for  the  nomination  to  the  United  States  senate, 
but  Lincoln  withdrew  and  Trumbull  was  chosen.  On  May  29, 
1856,  he  assisted  in  organizing  the  Republican  party  of  Illinois, 
and  his  name  was  presented  to  the  national  Republican  con- 
vention for  vice-president,  but  he  was  defeated  by  Mr.  Dayton. 


468  LINCOLN    GENEALOGY 

In  1858  he  had  his  remarkable  contest  with  Mr.  Douglas  for  the 
senatorship,  in  which  at  first  they  attended  each  other's  meetings 
in  order  to  reply  later,  and  finally  met  each  other  in  seven  joint 
meetings  at  Ottawa,  Freeport,  Jonesboro,  Charleston,  Gales- 
burg,  Quincy  and  Alton.  The  result  was  a  Democratic  legisla- 
ture and  the  election  of  Douglas,  though  Lincoln's  popular  vote 
was  four  thousand  over  Douglas's. 

Late  in  1859  and  early  in  1860  he  made  several  journeys 
through  various  portions  of  the  country  on  lecturing  tours, 
visiting  Ohio,  Kansas,  New  York  and  New  England.  Mean- 
while his  name  became  prominently  mentio;ied  for  the  presiden- 
tial nomination,  his  principal  competitor  being  William  H. 
Seward.  The  Republican  convention  met  at  Chicago,  June  16, 
1860,  in  an  immense  building  called  the  "Wigwam."  Lincoln's 
name  was  placed  in  nomination  by  the  Illinois  delegation,  and 
on  the  first  ballot  he  received  102  votes  to  173J^  for  Seward,  the 
remaining  votes  being  divided  among  several  other  candidates. 
On  the  third  ballot  Lincoln  was  triumphantly  nominated,  and  in 
the  ensuing  election  he  received  180  votes  in  the  electoral  college 
to  123  for  his  three  opponents,  the  Democratic  votes  being 
divided  between  Douglas  and  Breckenridge,  the  Whig  candidate, 
John  Bell,  receiving  39.  Lincoln's  popular  vote,  however,  was 
far  from  being  a  majority  of  the  whole  vote  cast,  his  three  oppo- 
nents receiving  nine  hundred  and  thirty  thousand  votes  more 
than  he,  and  the  joint  vote  of  the  two  Democrats  exceeding 
Lincoln's  by  nearly  three  hundred  thousand.  At  his  re-election 
in  1864,  however,  the  seceding  states  of  course  not  voting,  he 
received  a  popular  majority  of  over  four  hundred  thousand. 

It  is  unnecessary  here  to  relate  any  of  the  incidents  of  his 
official  life  as  President,  or  the  circumstances  of  his  tragic  assassi- 
nation at  the  hands  of  John- Wilkes  Booth,  which  filled  the  whole 
nation  with  mourning.  These  have  been  told  and  retold  in  his 
many  biographies  to  which  the  reader  is  here  referred,  none  of 
which,  however,  are  to  be  entirely  relied  upon  for  the  incidents 
of  his  early  life,  or  for  the  details  of  his  parentage  and  ancestry. 

Shortly  after  his  nomination  to  the  presidency  Mr.  Lincoln 
furnished  to  Mr.  J.  W.  Fell  a  brief  account  of  his  life.  The  manu- 
script of  this  has  been  preserved.  It  bears  no  date.  On  March 
20,  1872,  it  was  certified  to  by  David  Davis,  Lyman  Trumbull

and  Charles  Sumner  as  being  in  the  handwriting  of  Abraham 
Lincoln  and  is  undoubtedly  authentic.  It  has  been  published  in 
facsimile  several  times  and  is  here  given  in  full : 

''I  was  born  Feb.  12,  1809,  in  Hardin  County,  Kentucky. 
My  parents  were  both  born  in  Virginia,  of  undistinguished 
families,  second  families  perhaps  I  should  say — My  mother, 
who  died  in  my  tenth  year,  was  of  a  family  of  the  name  of  Hanks, 
some  of  whom  now  reside  in  Adams,  and  others  in  Macon  coun- 
ties, Illinois.  My  paternal  grandfather,  Abraham  Lincoln, 
emigrated  from  Rockingham  County,  Virginia,  to  Kentucky, 
about  1781  or  2,  where,  a  year  or  two  later  he  was  killed  by 
indians,  not  in  battle,  but  by  stealth,  when  he  was  laboring  to 
open  a  farm  in  the  forest — His  ancestors,  who  were  quakers, 
went  to  Virginia  from  Berks  County,  Pennsylvania — An  effort 
to  identify  them  with  the  New  England  family  of  the  same  name, 
ended  in  nothing  more  definite,  than  a  similarity  of  Christian 
names  in  both  famihes,  such  as  Enoch,  Levi,  Mordecai,  Solomon, 
Abraham  and  the  like. 

''My  father,  at  the  death  of  his  father,  was  about  six  years 
of  age;  and  he  grew  up,  literally  without  education — He  removed 
from  Kentucky  to  what  is  now  Spencer  County,  Indiana,  in  my 
eighth  year — We  reached  our  new  home  about  the  time  the 
State  came  into  the  Union — It  was  a  wild  region,  with  many 
bears  and  other  wild  animals  still  in  the  woods. — There  I  grew 
up — There  were  some  schools,  so  called;  but  no  qualification 
was  ever  required  of  a  teacher,  beyond  'readin,  writin',  and 
cipherin'  to  the  Rule  of  Three — If  a  straggler,  supposed  to  under- 
stand latin,  happened  to  sojourn  in  the  neighborhood,  he  was 
looked  upon  as  a  wizzard — There  was  absolutely  nothing  to  excite 
ambition  for  education.  Of  course  when  I  came  of  age  I  did  not 
know  much — Still  somehow,  I  could  read,  write  and  cipher  to 
the  Rule  of  Three,  but  that  was  all — I  have  not  been  to  school 
since — The  little  advance  I  now  have  upon  this  store  of  educa- 
tion, I  have  picked  up  from  time  to  time  under  the  pressure  of 
necessity — 

''I  was  raised  to  farm  work,  which  I  continued  till  I  was 
twenty  two — At  twenty  one  I  came  to  Illinois,  and  passed  the 
first  year  in  Illinois,  Macon  County — Then  I  got  to  New  Salem 
at  that  time  in  Sangamon,  now  in  Menard  County,  where  I  re-

mained  a  year  as  a  sort  of  Clerk  in  a  store — Then  came  the 
Black  Hawk  war;  and  I  was  elected  a  Captain  of  Volunteers — 
a  success  which  gave  me  more  pleasure  than  any  I  have  had 
since — I  went  the  campaign,  was  elated  [elected?],  ran  for  the 
Legislature  the  same  year  (1832)  and  was  beaten — the  only 
time  I  ever  have  been  beaten  by  the  people — The  next  and  three 
succeeding  biennial  elections,  I  was  elected  to  the  Legislature — 
I  was  not  a  candidate  afterwards.  During  this  Legislative  period 
I  had  studied  law,  and  removed  to  Springfield  to  practice  it — 
In  1846  I  was  once  elected  to  the  lower  House  of  Congress — Was 
not  a  candidate  for  re-election — From  1849  to  1854,  both  in- 
clusive, practiced  law  more  assiduously  than  ever  before — 
Always  a  whig  in  politics,  and  generally  on  the  Whig  electoral 
ticket,  making  active  canvasses — I  was  losing  interest  in  politics, 
when  the  repeal  of  the  Missouri  Compromise  aroused  me 
again — What  I  have  done  since  then  is  pretty  well  known — 
**If  any  personal  description  is  thought  desirable,  it  may  be 
said,  I  am,  in  height,  six  feet,  four  inches,  nearly;  lean  in  flesh, 
weighing,  on  an  average,  one  hundred  and  eighty  pounds;  dark 
complexion,  with  coarse  black  hair,  and  grey  eyes, — no  other 
marks  or  brands  recollected —

height,  rather  compactly  built,  had  a  well  rounded  face,  rich 
dark  brown  hair,  and  bluish-grey  eyes.  In  her  bearing  she  was 
proud,  but  handsome  and  vivacious.  Her  education  had  been 
in  no  wise  defective;  she  was  a  good  conversationalist,  using  with 
equal  fluency  the  French  and  English  languages.  When  she 
used  a  pen,  its  point  was  sure  to  be  sharp,  and  she  wrote  with 
wit  and  ability.  She  not  only  had  a  quick  intellect  but  an  in- 
tuitive judgment  of  men  and  their  motives.  Ordinarily  she  was 
affable  and  even  charming  in  her  manners;  but  when  offended  or

Virginia  militia  in  the  Civil  war,  serving  at  Winchester,  and 
was  a  heavy  sufferer  by  the  destruction  done  in  the  Valley 
during  the  war.  After  the  war  he  became  the  first  postmaster  of 
Lacey  Spring.  As  an  instance  of  his  unassuming  modesty  it  is 
related  that  when  the  government  decided  to  establish  a  post 
office  at  what  is  now  Lacey  Spring,  Mr.  Lincoln  was  asked  by 
the  department  to  suggest  a  name  and,  at  the  desire  of  his 
friends  he  wrote  suggesting  Lincoln  Spring,  from  the  spring  so 
called,  which  gushed  from  the  ground  in  great  volume  im- 
mediately below  his  house.  His  writing  not  being  very  good 
the  officials  misread  the  name  and  without  further  inquiry  named 
the  spring  Lacey  instead  of  Lincoln,  and  Mr.  Lincoln,  though 
urged  to  have  the  error  corrected,  refused  to  do  so  on  the  ground 
that,  as  he  said,  one  name  was  as  good  as  the  other.  Though 
having  no  middle  name  he  always  signed  his  name  ''A.  B. 
Lincoln."

18,  1896,  at  Liberty.  He  was  educated  in  Clay  county.  Mo., 
graduating  at  William  Jewell  college  in  1860.  He  then  studied 
law  at  the  Louisville,  Ky.,  law  school,  where  he  graduated  in 
1862.  He  immediately  opened  a  law  office  in  Liberty  but  soon 
after  went  to  Montana,  where  he  engaged  in  trade  until  1864, 
when  he  returned  to  Liberty  and  resumed  the  practice  of  law  in 
partnership  with  Henry  L.  Routt,  which  partnership  continued 
until  1867,  when  it  was  dissolved  and  Mr.  Lincoln  took  as  a 
partner  Colonel  W.  H.  Woodson,  with  whom  he  continued  until 
1873,  after  which  he  conducted  his  practice  alone. 

In  1871,  he  was  elected  city  attorney  of  Liberty  and,  in  1872,

constitution,  which  had  just  been  adopted.  In  1878,  he  was 
elected  probate  judge  of  Clay  county,  to  which  office  he  was 
re-elected  in  1882,  without  opposition,  but  from  which  he 
resigned  in  1884,  and  was  then  appointed  by  the  Governor  a 
curator  of  the  University  of  Missouri,  in  which  position  he 
served  for  four  years.  He  then  removed  to  Colorado  and  es- 
tablished a  bank  at  Buena  Vista,  the  firm  name  being  Lincoln, 
Hockaday  and  Co.,  but  his  health  failing  he  sold  out  this  business 
and  returned  to  Liberty  and  resumed  the  practice  of  law,  and 
purchasing  the  Liberty  "Tribune"  he  edited  it  from  May,  1888, 
to  May,  1890.

and  so  continued  until  his  death.  He  was,  until  1894,  a  member 
of  the  Democratic  party,  but  in  that  year  he  joined  the  Populist 
party.  He  was  from  his  youth  an  ardent  temperance  advocate 
and  never  faltered  in  his  allegiance  to  the  men  who  were  fighting 
the  saloons  in  Clay  county.  In  religious  connection  he  was  a 
member  of  the  Christian  church,  which  he  joined  while  in  college. 
He  was  a  Free  Mason,  becoming  a  member  of  Liberty  Lodge  in 
1862,  and,  in  1873,  became  identified  with  Liberty  commandery 
of  Knights  Templar. 

"Tried  by  all  the  tests,  Mr.  Lincoln  was  a  good  man  and  a 
good  citizen.  Faithful  in  all  the  relations  of  life,  very  kindly  in 
feelings  toward  his  fellow  men,  a  good  neighbor  and  friend,  genial 
and  pleasant  in  intercourse,  always  courteous,  respectful  of  the 
opinions  of  others  and  firm  in  his  own,  of  large  public  spirit, 
loving  his  country  with  a  native's  largest  measure  of  love,  without 
bitterness  towards  enemies  or  harshness  towards  rivals,  never 
claiming  as  much  as  he  merited,  conceding  to  others  all  they 
could  justly  claim,  he  was  in  manners  and  spirit  a  gentleman  of 
whom  his  kindred  and  friends  may  well  be  proud.''  (From  an 
obituary  notice  in  the  Liberty  Herald.)

February  and  that  he  was  aged  62  years,  22  days,  when  he  died.

Mr.  Lincoln  taught  school  for  a  Mr.  Mason  who  promised  to 
give  him  a  classical  education,  but  Mr.  Mason's  sudden  death

ployment on  the  **  Globe-Democrat,"  of  which  paper  he  after- 
wards became,  it  is  claimed,  part  or  complete  owner.  Meeting

Brunswick,  Me.,  born  June  1,  1821,  at  Brunswick;  died  June  3, 
1877,  at  Brunswick,  in  the  old  mansion  built  by  his  father,  in 
which  he  had  been  born  and  bred  and  had  passed  his  life.  He 
graduated  at  Bowdoin  college  in  1843  and  three  years  later 
received  the  degree  of  M.D.  at  the  Maine  Medical  School.  He 
at  once  commenced  the  practice  of  his  profession,  being  associated 
with  his  father  until  the  latter's  death  in  1868,  and  obtained  a 
thorough  and  comprehensive  understanding  of  his  occupation, 
acquiring  a  wide  reputation  as  a  physician.  The  following  brief 
abstract  is  taken  from  a  lengthy  obituary  notice  published  in 
the  "Boston  Evening  Transcript"  at  the  time  of  his  death: 

''After  success  was  assured  and  his  professional  engagements 
were  all  engrossing,  he  found  time  to  keep  even  with  the  age  in 
new  discoveries  and  appliances  for  the  amelioration  of  human 
suffering.  He  was  long  a  member  of  the  school  committee  of 
Brunswick,  was  for  many  years  and  at  his  death  a  member  of  the 
board  of  overseers  of  Bowdoin  college,  served  on  the  faculty  of 
the  Maine  Medical  School  and  for  years  was  one  of  the  Repub- 
lican State  central  committee.  He  held  various  town  offices,  was 
director  of  the  First  National  Bank  from  its  organization,  and 
to  his  efforts  is  due  much  of  the  excellent  condition  of  the  roads 
and  public  grounds  of  the  town. 

"But  these  functions  were  his  relaxation,  his  real  devotion  was 
to  his  profession.  His  daily  practice  being  in  a  radius  of  twenty 
miles,  from  early  morning  till  night,  and  not  infrequently  at 
night,  he  was  riding  from  farm  to  farm,  not  only  giving  advice 
and  medicine,  but,  by  his  genial  presence,  mirthful  ways  and 
keen  sense  of  humor,  cheering  the  sick  room  and  giving  impulse 
and  new  inspiration  to  all  the  households  he  visited.  He  was 
ever  ready  with  his  sage  advice  in  practical  matters,  and  his 
long  intimacy  with  families  made  him  a  frequent  peacemaker 
in  social  and  public  quarrels.     No  man  called  on  him  in  vain. 


518  LINCOLN   GENEALOGY 

No  matter  how  stormy  or  dark  the  night,  if  there  was  suffering 
humanity  that  needed  his  skill,  he  proceeded  on  his  errand  of 
mercy  without  delay.  Many  and  many  a  time  has  he  driven  at 
the  dead  of  night  in  such  a  storm  as  often  comes  up  on  our  bleak 
coast,  ten  miles  to  the  dreary  shore  and  then  been  rowed  to 
some  lone  island,  to  tend  a  sick  child;  and  no  reward  which  this 
world  affords  can  fulfill  the  prayers  of  the  mother  as  he  wrapped 
his  cloak  about  him  and  went  out  into  the  darkness,  unpaid  save 
in  thanks  and  the  satisfaction  to  his  own  warm  heart."

at  Dorchester,  Mass.  He  ran  away  from  home  when  thirteen 
years  old;  went  West  and  became  a  train-boy  on  the  Illinois 
Central  railroad.  He  then  went  to  the  Plains  and  became  a  pony 
express  rider.  At  the  breaking  out  of  the  Civil  war  he  enlisted, 
Apr.  23,  1861,  in  Company  H,  11th  Illinois  infantry,  and  was 
mustered  out  at  Cairo,  111.,  in  August,  1861.  He  immediately 
re-enlisted,  Aug.  5,  1861,  in  Company  C,  2nd  Illinois  light  artil- 
lery, and  served  until  Aug.  3,  1863.  During  all  this  service  he 
was  detached  from  his  Company  and  served  as  a  spy,  most  of 
the  time  being  within  the  Confederate  lines.  He  was  finally 
captured  at  Waverly,  Tenn.,  tried  by  court  martial  and  sentenced 
to  be  shot  the  next  morning.  During  that  night,  however,  he 
succeeded  in  escaping  and  made  his  way  into  the  Union  lines, 
where  he  reported  to  General  Grant,  who  refused  to  let  him  serve 
longer  as  a  spy,  but  had  him  appointed  as  master's  mate  in  the 
navy;  and  in  this  capacity  he  served  on  the  Mississippi  river, 
in  the  secret  service  of  the  United  States,  until  January,  1865, 
when  he  resigned.  He  then  entered  the  secret  service  in  Wash- 
ington and,  in  that  capacity,  arrested  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Surratt  for 
complicity  in  the  assassination  of  President  Lincoln.  He  re- 
mained in  the  service  until  1908,  when  failing  health  compelled 
him  to  resign.  After  the  war  he  served  in  Pennsylvania  against 
the  notorious  whiskey  ring  and,  later,  in  Kentucky  on  the  same 
business.  In  1893  he  was  employed  at  Chicago  at  the  World's 
Fair.  For  the  last  ten  years  he  has  been  engaged  in  insurance 
business  in  Boston,  but  during  the  first  six  years  as  a  blind  to  his

EIGHTH   GENERATION  539 

of  Worcester,  Mass.,  born  Dec.  31,  1849,  at  Worcester.  He  was 
educated  in  the  private  and  public  schools  of  Worcester  and  at 
Harvard  college,  where  he  graduated  in  the  class  of  1870.  After 
graduation  he  studied  chemistry  for  one  year  in  Lawrence  scienti- 
fic school  at  Cambridge.  In  January,  1872,  he  entered  into  part- 
nership with  his  cousin,  Joseph-Parker  Mason  of  Worcester,  see 
aachc  cc,  under  the  firm  name  of  Mason  and  Lincoln,  for  the 
sale  of  iron,  steel  and  heavy  hardware.  This  business  proving 
uncongenial  to  Mr.  Lincoln  he  sold  his  interest,  two  years  later, 
to  his  partner  and,  with  William-Everett  Cutter,  Harvard  1869, 
engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  copperas  and  Venetian  red  from 
the  waste  sulphuric  acid  of  the  Washburn  and  Moen  Manufac- 
turing Company  of  Worcester,  manufacturers  of  wire.  This 
partnership  continued,  under  the  name  of  W.  E.  Cutter  and 
Company,  until  1889  when  it  was  dissolved,  Mr.  Cutter  retiring 
on  account  of  impaired  health,  and  Mr.  Lincoln  continued  the 
business  alone,  under  the  name  of  The  Ferric  Chemical  and  Color 
Company,  until  1893  when  he  sold  the  business  to  the  Washburn 
and  Moen  Manufacturing  Company.  Since  then  he  has  passed 
his  time  in  historical  and  genealogical  studies  and  in  travel.  In 
May,  1894,  he  sailed  for  Europe  with  his  whole  family,  excepting 
his  eldest  son,  then  a  student  at  Harvard  college,  and  did  not 
return  until  June,  1896,  the  time  being  divided  between  England, 
France,  Germany  and  Italy,  with  excursions  to  Switzerland, 
Sweden  and  Denmark.  In  1903  he  again  visited  Europe  with  his 
wife  and  daughters,  travelling  in  Italy,  Algeria  and  Spain.  In 
1908,  with  his  wife  and  younger  daughter  he  started  for  a  trip 
around  the  world,  but  after  visiting  Egypt,  India,  Ceylon  and 
Burmah,  his  daughter,  Dorothy,  was  attacked  with  typhoid 
fever  and  died  at  Singapore  on  the  first  of  April,  1909,  and  the 
bereaved  parents  hurried  home.  Since  then  he  and  his  wife 
have  made  several  trips  to  the  West  Indies,  passing  two  winters 
there  and  one  in  California.  In  1902  he  published  the  "Geneal- 
ogy of  the  Waldo  Family''  in  two  volumes,  a  work  on  which  he 
had  been  engaged  for  several  years  and  in  the  compilation  of 
which  he  travelled  extensively  through  New  Hampshire,  Ver- 
mont, Connecticut  and  New  York.  He  has  given  much  time 
during  the  last  twenty  years  to  the  preparation  of  the  present 
volume.

Massachusetts,  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society, 
the  American  Historical  Association,  the  Prince  Society,  the 
Club  of  Odd  Volumes  and  of  several  historical  societies  of  minor

the  American  Antiquarian  Society  and  in  October,  1907,  its 
president,  to  the  duties  of  which  office  he  has  since  devoted  much 
of  his  time  and  attention.  Passing  the  winter  of  1912-3  in  the 
British  West  Indies,  he  was  able  to  secure  for  the  Society's 
library  a  large  and  valuable  collection  of  West  Indian  newspapers, 
covering  the  period  from  1790  to  1880,  a  collection  impossible 
to  dupHcate. 

He  was  for  several  years  a  director  of  the  Merchants  and 
Farmers  Mutual  Fire  Insurance  Company  of  Worcester,  of  the 
Worcester  Gas  Light  Company,  the  Central  National  Bank  of 
Worcester,  and  of  the  Providence  and  Worcester  Railroad  Com-

Men  and  the  Rural  Cemetery,  and  chairman  of  the  trustees  of 
trust  funds  of  the  City  of  Worcester.  From  1910  to  1913  he  was 
chairman  of  the  Massachusetts  State  Art  Commission,  to  which 
position  he  was  appointed  by  Governor  Draper  in  1910.  From 
1889  to  1895  he  was  director  of  the  Worcester  Public  Library. 
In  politics  he  was  a  Democrat  until  the  breaking  up  of  that 
party  over  the  silver  question,  since  which  time  he  has  had  no 
strong  party  affiliations,  though  he  was  in  full  sympathy  with  the 
poKcies  of  President  Wilson.  In  1892  he  was  on  the  Democratic 
electoral  ticket,  which  in  Massachusetts  was  defeated,  though 
successful  in  the  nation  at  large.  In  1896  he  was  a  delegate  to  the 
Gold  Democratic  convention  at  Indianapolis,  and  was  a  candidate 
for  secretary  of  state  of  Massachusetts  on  the  Gold  Democratic 
ticket  of  that  year  and  received  a  highly  complimentary  vote.  In 
religion  he  is  a  Unitarian,  and  since  his  marriage  has  been  a 
member  and  active  supporter  of  the  First  Unitarian  Church  of 
Worcester.

present,  1922,  a  member  of  the  Worcester  Club,  the  Tavern

of  which  he  was  a  founder  and,  for  seven  of  the  first  nine  years 
of  its  existence,  president.  He  was  for  several  years  a  member 
of  the  Oquossuc  Angling  Association  of  Rangeley,  Me.  During 
the  great  war  the  Worcester  Club  was  particularly  active  in 
patriotic  service  and  Mr.  Lincoln,  whose  three  sons  were  in  the 
army,  was  its  president. 

He  married,  June  24,  1873,  at  Worcester,  Fanny^,  daughter 
of  George^  (John-Wilkes^,  Peter^,  Joseph^,  John^,  William})  and

Worcester.  She  was  educated  in  private  schools  in  Worcester; 
Geneva,  Switzerland;  and  New  York  City.  She  is  an  accom- 
plished French  scholar  and  an  exceedingly  good  judge  of  paint- 
ings and  other  works  of  art.  She  retains  to  the  present  day  much 
of  the  beauty  for  which  she  was  noted  in  youth  and  middle  age. 
She  has  borne  for  many  years  the  trying  affliction  of  extreme 
deafness  with  extraordinary  amiability.  Her  portrait  and  that 
of  Mr.  Lincoln,  both  by  the  late  Frederic  P.  Vinton  of  Boston, 
are  in  the  possession  of  members  of  the  family. 

After  the  death  of  his  father  Mr.  Lincoln  occupied  the  old 
family  mansion  on  Elm  street,  which  was  built  by  his  grandfather 
in  1836  and,  though  somewhat  altered  and  enlarged,  is  still, 
through  its  classical  lines,  its  commanding  situation  and  beautiful 
surroundings,  one  of  the  most  striking  and  imposing  residences 
in  central  Massachusetts.

Boston,  Mass.,  born  Jan.  14,  1851,  at  Boston.  He  was  a  "team- 
ster" and  lived  at  Boston  until  1889,  his  name  appearing  in  the 
Boston  directories  until  that  date,  except  from  1878  to  1887, 
when  he  was  probably  living  elsewhere.  He  is  said  to  have  re- 
moved to  New  York  City,  and  after  having  been  divorced  from 
his  first  wife  to  have  married  again,  but  nothing  definite  has 
been  learned  of  him  after  1889.  The  records  of  his  son's  death 
and  of  his  daughter's  marriage  say  they  were  both  born  in  Boston, 
but  their  births  are  not  recorded  there  nor  in  Massachusetts 
Vital  Records,  and  it  is  possible  they  were  not  born  in  the 
State. 

He  married,  Apr.  1,  1877,  at  Boston,  Mary-Abbie,  daughter  of 
Coleman  and  Mary  A.  Hemingway  of  Grafton,  Me.,  born,  1853, 
at  Grafton,  though  in  the  record  of  her  son's  death  she  is  said 
to  have  been  born  at  Portland,  Me.  She  is  said  to  have  been 
divorced  from  Mr.  Lincoln,  but  whether  before  or  after  his 
removal  to  New  York  is  not  known.  No  record  has  been  found 
of  her  death.    (Mass.  Vital  Records;  Boston  Directories.)
